Famous quotes containing the word swift:

    This Day, whate’er the Fates decree;
    Shall still be kept with Joy by me:
    This Day then, let us not be told,
    That you are sick, and I grown old,
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    We are little airy creatures,
    All of different voice and features:
    One of us in glass is set,
    One of us you’ll find in jet,
    T’other you may see in tin,
    And the fourth a box within;
    If the fifth you should pursue,
    It can never fly from you.
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    As with a moral view designed
    To cure the vices of mankind;
    His vein, ironically grave,
    Exposed the fool, and lashed the knave;
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
