Famous quotes containing the word wilbur:

“And every stone shall cry,
In praises of the child
By whose descent among us
The worlds are reconciled.”

Was all he loved and all he learned;
When he was hit, his body turned
To clumsy dirt before it fell.

And what to say of him, God knows.
Such violence. And such repose.”
