Evermore Quotes - Page 4

• When the tribal groups of december trade
  Seated in the figure of crocodile
  And songs are sung and deals discussed, are made
  Real. All... For more than one reason they smile.
  These codes are writ in secret, feeling fine
  To keep what's private to my self since we
  All must face our maker in our own ryhme
  And reasons for being ( from regrets) free
  So let the memory of your glory
  Be the tenderness heartfelt love starkly
  In the sky of my mind vast and pretty
  Evermore glittering simplicity
  Where in the truth of country grows sober
  And sunshines through fog to radiate wonder

  John Armstrong

  Country, Song, Nature

• When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean And billows wild contend with angry roar, 'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore. Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth And silver waves chime ever peacefully, And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flyeth Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.

  Harriet Beecher Stowe

• The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.

• I am restless. I am athirst for faraway things. My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance. O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute! I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.

• Come, see the north-wind's masonry, Out of an unseen quarry evermore Furnished with tile, the fierce artificer Curves his white bastions with projected roof Round every windward stake, or tree, or door. Speeding, the myriad-handed, his wild work So fanciful, so savage, naught cares he For number or proportion.

• Paul Ryan, who teamed up with Akin in the House to sponsor harsh anti-abortion bills, may look young and hip and new generation, with his iPod full of heavy metal jams and his cute kids. But he's just a fresh face on a Taliban creed - the evermore antediluvian, anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-gay conservative core. Amiable in khakis and polo shirts, Ryan is the perfect modern leader to rally medieval Republicans who believe that Adam and Eve cavorted with dinosaurs.
