Quotations for cell

Anchorite, who didst dwell
With all the world for cell! [ Francis Thompson ]

Shall I, like an hermit, dwell
On a rock or in a cell? [ Sir Walter Raleigh ]

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade,
Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap,
Each in his narrow cell forever laid,
The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. [ Gray ]

Look on the bee upon the wing among flowers;
How brave, how bright his life! then mark him hiv'd,
Cramp'd, cringing in his self-built, social cell,
Thus it is in the world-hive; most where men
Lie deep in cities as in drifts. [ Bailey ]

Hark! how the gentle echo from her cell
Talks through the cliffs, and murmuring over the stream.
Repeats the accent - we shall part no more. [ Akenside ]

The hermit thinks the sun shines no where but in his cell. [ Proverb ]

Mine eyes he closed, but open left the cell of Fancy, my immortal sight. [ Milton ]

Each in his narrow cell forever, laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. [ Gray ]

Nor cell, nor chain, nor dungeon speaks to the murderer like the voice of solitude. [ Maturin ]

A hermit who has been shut up in his cell in a college has contracted a sort of mould and rust upon his soul. [ Dr. Watts ]

Death is the only monastery; the tomb is the only cell, and the grave that adjoins the convent is the bitterest mock of its futility. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]
