Virgin Hauled Set

Famous quotes containing the words virgin, hauled and/or set:

    A hidden strength
    Which if Heav’n gave it, may be term’d her own:
    ‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity:
    She that has that, is clad in compleat steel,
    And like a quiver’d Nymph with Arrows keen
    May trace huge Forests, and unharbour’d Heaths,
    Infamous Hills, and sandy perilous wildes,
    Where through the sacred rayes of Chastity,
    No savage fierce, Bandite, or mountaneer
    Will dare to soyl her Virgin purity,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Buzzards float upon the sky
    Shrilling a metaphysic cry,
    Machines hum, midgets play,
    Another corpse is hauled away
    Hauled away
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    But at the coming of the King of Heaven
    All’s set at six and seven:
    We wallow in our sin;
    Christ cannot finde a chamber in the inn.
    —Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 25–28)
