Famous quotes with Ere

  • Ere need be shown, some men will act, As trees may fruit without a flower; To some you speak with no result, As seeds may die, and yield no grain.
    Hindu Poetess
  • O love, whose lordly hand Has bridled my desires, And raised my hunger and my thirst To dignity and prideLet me rather starve, And let my heart parch with thirst, And let me die and perish, Ere I stretch my hand To a cup you did not fill, Or a bowl you did not bless.
    Khalil Gibran
  • Then to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 't is prosperous to be just; Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside, Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified, And the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
    James Russell Lowell
  • I carved that fight on a reindeer bone With rude and hairy hand; I pictured his fall on the cavern wall That men might understand. For we lived by blood and the right of might Ere human laws wEre drawn, And the age of sin did not begin Till our brutal tusks wEre gone.
    Langdon Smith
  • Tombed in the solid night of starless space; From nearest living orb so far removed, That light, of all material things most swift, Myriads on myriads of earth's years must speed, Ere the mEre outskirts of that Stygian gloom, If ever, it might reach,-at rest eterne, Lies the cold wreck of an extinguished sun. Prime glory once of all heaven's radiant host; Body, for soul of purest light most fit- 'Tween its first darkening, and eclipse complete, Streamed years which might eternity appear; While into ether, like the particles, Invisible, which are the breath of flowers, The mighty bulk its softer elements Still ever was exhaling. As when flesh And sinew of earth's monster Mastodon, By the slow wasting of the elements, All are dissolved, and hard, enduring bones Alone remain,- even so, of this immense,- When, by the ocean waves of centuries, Millions succeeding millions, worn away,- The adamantine skeleton alone, In darkness, silence, utter solitude, A ruin for eternity, was left.
    Edwin Atherstone
