“Recollection is not something that I can summon up, it simply comes and I am the servant of it.”
Edna O'Brien
“I have not received any summons. I just read the papers and saw my picture, but nevertheless I'm ready to face the team. I have nothing to worry about.”
Energy Minister Kiraitu Murungi
“So many of our DREAMS at first seem Impossible, then they seem Improbable, and then when we Summon the Will, they soon become Inevitable.”
Christopher Reeve
“Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.”
William Shakespeare
“A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven”
Charles R. Swindoll
“So live that when thy summons comes to joinThe innumerable caravan that movesTo that mysterious realm, where each shall takeHis chamber in the silent halls of death,Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothedBy an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,Like one who wraps the drapery of his couchAbout him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
William Cullen Bryant
“When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste: Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow, For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, And weep afresh love's long since cancell'd woe, And moan the expense of many a vanish'd sight: Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end.”
