This is he. This is the man they ate at the green table Putting their gloves on ere they touched the meat. This is the fruit of war, the fruit of peace, The ripeness of invention, the new lamb, The answer to the wisdom of the wise. And still he hangs, and still he will not die And still, on the steel city of our years The light falls and the terrible blood streams down.
Stephen Vincent Benét
For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself! As for the others, the irony of facts shall take it out of their hands, and make fools of them in downright earnest, ere the farce be over.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Idleness ere now has ruined both kings and wealthy cities.
Catullus
What happens to all the laws placed on the statute book? If half the hopes of their promoters had been realised, would not the millennium have arrived ere this?
Stanley Baldwin
Old age hath yet his honor and his toil. Death closes all; but something ere the end, Some work of noble note, may yet be done, Not unbecoming men that strove with gods.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
And Thought leapt out to wed with Thought Ere Thought could wed itself with Speech.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
I will not seek the battle-field - The men I there should meet, What have they done to me to make Shedding their life-blood sweet? It is the veriest madness man In maddest mood can frame, To feed the earth with human gore, And then to call it fame. I have been wrong'd; but were my wrong The deadliest wrong ere done, I would not slay my enemy, But bid him still live on :- And I should deem my vengeance more Than the death-wound in strife- What ills can death inflict like those Heap'd on each hour of life?
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
But Love's bright fount is never pure; And all his pilgrims must endure All passion's mighty suffering Ere they may reach the blessed spring.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Let the rose fall, another rose Will bloom upon the self-same tree; Let the bird die, ere evening close Some other bird will sing for me. It is for the beloved to love, 'Tis for the happy to be kind; Sorrow will more than death remove The associate links affections bind.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Love is enough: cherish life that abideth, Lest ye die ere ye know him, and curse and misname him; For who knows in what ruin of all hope he hideth, On what wings of the terror of darkness he rideth?
William Morris
I am as free as Nature first made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began.
John Dryden
He is the very Janus of poets he wears almost everywhere two faces and you have scarce begun to admire the one, ere you despise the other.
John Dryden
One of George Washington's main concerns was to make sure that his soldiers had adequate supplies of meat A part of the army has been a week without any kind of flesh, and the rest three or four days. Naked and starving as they are, we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery, that they have not been ere this excited by their suffering to a general mutiny and dispersion.
George Washington
It is much to be lamented that each State, long 'ere this, has not hunted them down as the pests of Society, & the greatest enemies we have, to the happiness of America.
George Washington
That low man seeks a little thing to do, Sees it and does it. This high man, with a great thing to pursue, Dies ere he knows it.
Robert Browning
The cristall water ran so clere and cold, That in myn ere maid contynualy A maner soun, mellit with armony, That full of lytill fischis by the brym Now here now there with bakkis blewe as lede Lap and playit, and in a rout can swym So prattily, and dressit tham to sprede Thair curall fynnis as the ruby rede, That in the sonne on thair scalis bryght As gesserant ay glitterit in my sight.
James I of Scotland
While Resignation gently slopes away, And all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past.
Oliver Goldsmith
Ere that He made us He loved us, and when we were made we loved Him.
Julian of Norwich
Though they be Ill rulers of this household, be not thou Too swift to strike ere time be ripe to strike, Nor then by darkling stroke, against them: I Have erred, who thought by wrong to vanquish wrong, To smite by violence violence, and by night Put out the power of darkness: time shall bring A better way than mine, if God's will be - As how should God's will be not?
Algernon Charles Swinburne
These were a part of the playing I heard Once, ere my love and my heart were at strife; Love that sings and hath wings as a bird, Balm of the wound and heft of the knife.
Algernon Charles Swinburne
Loves that are lost ere they come to birth, Weeds of the wave, without fruit upon earth. I lose what I long for, save what I can, My love, my love, and no love for me!
Algernon Charles Swinburne
I loved you ere I knew you: know you now, And, having known you, love you better still.
Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton
