Galilean Quotes

And now where'er he strays Among the Galilean mountains Or more unwelcome ways, He's followed by two faithful fountains; Two walking baths; two weeping motions; Portable and compendious oceans.

—Crashaw, Richard

Though these that were Gods are dead, and thou being dead art God, Though before thee the throned Cytherean be fallen, and hidden her head, Yet thy kingdom shall pass,Galilean, thy dead shall go down to thee dead.

—Swinburne, Algernon Charles

Thou hast conquered,O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey fromThy breath; We have drunken of things Lethean, and fed on the fullness of death.

—Swinburne, Algernon Charles
