writ
Words writ in waters. [ George Chapman ]
It is writ on Paradise's gate,
Woe to the dupe that yields to Fate! [ Hafiz ]
The world is a great poem, and the world's
The words it is writ in, and we souls the thoughts. [ Bailey ]
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove;
No! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error, and upon me proved;
I never writ, nor no man ever loved. [ William Shakespeare ]
A letter, timely writ, is a rivet to the chain of affection;
And a letter, untimely delayed, is as rust to the solder. [ Tupper ]
Oh, give me thy hand, one writ with me in sour misfortune's book- [ William Shakespeare ]
You may go to the court. A writ to remove a case to a higher court. [ Law Term ]
Love-verses, writ without any real passion, are the most nauseous of all conceits. [ Shenstone ]
Trifles light as air are to the jealous confirmations strong as proofs of holy writ. [ William Shakespeare ]
Friend, howsoever thou earnest by this book, I will assure thee thou wert least in my thoughts when I writ it. [ Bunyan ]
The lives of great men cannot be writ with any tolerable degree of elegance or exactness within a short time after their decease. [ Addison ]
There was never yet philosopher that could endure the toothache patiently, however they have writ the style of gods, and make a pish at chance and sufferance. [ William Shakespeare ]
Chance never writ a legible book; chance never built a fair house; chance never drew a neat picture; it never did any of these things, nor ever will; nor can it be without absurdity supposed able to do them; which yet are works very gross and rude, very easy and feasible, as it were, in comparison to the production of a flower or a tree. [ Barrow ]
