Thompson

Famous quotes containing the word thompson:

    I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
    I fled Him, down the arches of the years;
    I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
    Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears
    I hid from Him, and under running laughter.
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    Cry,—clinging Heaven by the hems;
    And lo, Christ walking on the water
    Not of Gennesareth, but Thames!
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    I stand amid the dust o’ the mounded years—
    My mangled youth lies dead beneath the heap,
    My days have crackled and gone up in smoke,
    Have puffed and burst as sun-starts on a stream.
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
