White Lotus Sutra

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or lotus:

    “Knowing that you shall feel,
    about the frame,
    no trembling of the string
    but heat, more passionate
    of bone and the white shell
    and fiery tempered steel.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “I passed a little further on and heard a lotus talk:
    Who made the world and ruleth it, He hangeth on a stalk,
    For I am in His image made, and all this tinkling tide
    Is but a sliding drop of rain between His petals wide.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
