A Quote by William Cowper

Still ending, and beginning still. — © William Cowper
Still ending, and beginning still.
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures, Soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures. War, he sung, is toil and trouble; Honour but an empty bubble; Never ending, still beginning, Fighting still, and still destroying. If all the world be worth the winning, Think, oh think it worth enjoying: Lovely Thais sits beside thee, Take the good the gods provide thee.
I'm still number one, so don't forget about that. So I still can have a happy ending.
It was the last that remained of a past whose annihilation had not taken place because it was still in a process of annihilation, consuming itself from within, ending at every moment but never ending its ending.
For all I know, I am beginning with the ending. My page one can wind up a year later as page two hundred, if it's still even around.
The world was ending then, it's ending still, and I'm happy to belong to it again.
If you can die, you are confused because death is a perception of something ending and something else obviously beginning, which means we're still hung up on qualities.
I am blessed for what I have, but I believed in it from the beginning. Today, the dream is the same: I still want to travel, I still want to entertain, and I most certainly still want to have fun.
Beginning with Santa in infancy, and ending with the Tooth Fairy as the child acquires adult teeth. Or, plainly put, beginning with all the possibility of childhood, and ending with an absolute trust in the national currency.
When the ending finally comes to me, I often have to backtrack and make the beginning point towards that ending. Other times, I know exactly what the ending will be before I begin, like with the story "A Brief Encounter With the Enemy." It was all about the ending - that's what motivated me.
All stories have a beginning, a middle and an ending, and if they're any good, the ending is a beginning.
I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go
I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.
I can still boss people around. I can still write. I can still read. I can still eat, and I can still have very strong views.
I always rewrite the very beginning of a novel. I rewrite the beginning as I write the ending, so I may spend part of morning writing the ending, the last 100 pages approximately, and then part of the morning revising the beginning. So the style of the novel has a consistency.
Ending the slave trade was contrary to British economic interests. For all its limitations and hypocrisies - British slavery itself, of course, still continued to exist - I still think it was a great moment in human history.
I am so, so lucky. I am the luckiest girl in the world, really. And still with access to everything I could possibly want I still say 'Oh dear, what am I going to wear today?' There's no ending to that question!
