Thy Gaze

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or gaze:

    Lord, when the wise men came from far,
    Led to thy cradle by a star,
    Then did the shepherds too rejoice,
    Instructed by thy angel’s voice.
    Blest were the wise men in their skill,
    And shepherds in their harmless will.
    Sidney Godolphin (1610–1693)

    A man who publishes his letters becomes a nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin. A writer, writing away, can always fix himself up to make himself more presentable, but a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
