English Poet Quotes

Rises from dead cerements the Christ at last?
What if men take to following where He leads,
Weary of mumbling Athanasian creeds?

Thy wounded hand! — until its tremblings take
Strength from Thy touch.

And now I live, and now my life is done.

Severs between coolness, apple-rind
Compelling a recognition.

But chieflye the anatomye Ye oughte to understande: If ye will cure well anye thinge, That ye doe take in hande.

Words are the gateway to reality, the means by which we engage with the objective truth beyond ourselves.
