Famous quotes containing the word wilt:
“The land of shadows wilt thou trace
And look nor know each other’s face
The present mixed with reasons gone
And past and present all as one
Say maiden can thy life be led
To join the living with the dead
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
We’re wed to one eternity”
—John Clare (1793–1864)

If thou wilt wend thither, thou Little Musgrave,
Thou’s lig in mine armes all night.””
