DISOBEDIENCE to DIVINE

DISOBEDIENCE.—Of man’s first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful seat,
Sing Heavenly Muse.

Milton.—Paradise Lost, Book I. Line 1.

DISPATCH.—You have made
The world your gallery, can dispatch a business
In some three minutes with the antipodes,
And in five more, negotiate the globe over.

Ben Jonson.—The Fortunate Isles.

DISPLACED.—You have displac’d the mirth, broke the good meeting,
With most admir’d disorder.

Shakespeare.—Macbeth, Act III. Scene 4. (Lady Macbeth to her Husband.)

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 2. (Horatio to Hamlet.)

DISPUTE.—Mal. Dispute it like a man.
Macd. I shall do so;
But I must also feel it as a man.

Shakespeare.—Macbeth, Act IV. Scene 3.

DISSENSION.—Alas! how light a cause may move
Dissension between hearts that love!
Hearts that the world in vain had tried,
And sorrow but more closely tied;
That stood the storm when waves were rough,
Yet in a sunny hour fall off.

Tom Moore.—The Light of the Harem, Vol. VII. Page 22.

But now our fates from unmomentous things
May rise like rivers out of little springs.

Campbell.—Theodric.

Great floods have flown from simple sources.

DISSENSION.—Dissensions, like small streams, are first begun,
Scarce seen they rise, but gather as they run.

Could we forbear dispute, and practise love,
We should agree, as angels do above.

Waller.—Divine Love, Canto III.

Civil dissension is a viperous worm
That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.

Shakespeare.—King Henry VI. Part I. Act III. Scene 1. (The King to Gloster and Winchester.)

DISTANCE.—’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view,
And robes the mountain in its azure hue.

Campbell.—Pleasures of Hope, Part I.
