Famous quotes containing the word cowley:

    The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
    And drinks and gapes for drink again;
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    How could it be so fair, and you away?
    How could the Trees be beauteous, Flowers so gay?
    Could they remember but last year,
    How you did Them, They you delight,
    The sprouting leaves which saw you here,
    And call’d their Fellows to the sight,
    Would, looking round for the same sight in vain,
    Creep back into their silent Barks again.
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    Pardon, my Mother Church, if I consent
    That Angels led him when from thee he went,
    For even in Error sure no Danger is
    When joyn’d with so much Piety as His.
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
