Thy Desire

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or desire:

    “The land of shadows wilt thou trace
    And look nor know each other’s face
    The present mixed with reasons gone
    And past and present all as one

    To join the living with the dead
    Then trace thy footsteps on with me
    We’re wed to one eternity”
