Waft Quotes

O star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there, To waft us home the message of despair? (Thomas Campbell)
Farewell! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high, Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky. View quote
Lord Byron

Waft, gentle gale, oh waft to Samercand, When next thou visitest that blissful land, The plaint of Khorassania plung'd in woe: Bear to Turania's King our piteous scroll, Whose opening breathes forth all the anguish'd soul, And close denotes whate'er the tortur'd know. View quote
Anvari

Charlotte Brontë
Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise My footstool earth, my canopy the skies. View quote
Alexander Pope
Bid Amaranthus all his beauty shed, And Daffadillies fill their cups with tears, To strew the Laureat Herse where Lycid lies. For so to interpose a little ease, Let our frail thoughts dally with false surmise. Look homeward Angel now, and melt with ruth: And, O ye Dolphins, waft the hapless youth. View quote
John Milton
