enlarge quotes

  • Enlarge my life with multitude of days, In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays; Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know, That life protracted is protracted woe. Time hovers o'er, impatient to destroy, And shuts up all the passages of joy.

    - Samuel known as Dr Johnson Johnson
      The Vanity of Human Wishes, l.255^60.

  • Then, rising with Aurora's light, The Muse invoked, sit down to write; Blot out, correct, insert, refine, Enlarge, diminish, interline.

    -Jonathan Swift
      'On Poetry', l.85^8.
