Wilbur

Famous quotes containing the word wilbur:

    But ceremony never did conceal,
    Save to the silly eye, which all allows,
    How much we are the woods we wander in.

    A barn shall harbour heaven,
    A stall become a shrine.

    The morning air is all awash with angels.

    Some are in bed-sheets, some are in blouses,
    Some are in smocks: but truly there they are.
