Wren/description

Famous quotes containing the words wren and/or description:

    Old, aching God, grey with endless care,
    calmly piercing evil’s new disguises,
    glad of good surprises, wiser than despair
    Hail and Hosanna, old, aching God!

    A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.
