Rainbows4 quotes
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. — God · 1405 BCMy heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety. — William Wordsworth · 1807For poems are like rainbows: they escape you quickly. — Langston Hughes · 1940We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that a savage has, because we know how it is made.
