Wooden God

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or god:

    Upper and Lower Kingdom will declare
    God’s in this wooden toy,
    no less
    than where
    great Taurus ploughs his course.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    As this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horror of the half known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
