Uprise
 
  Uprisen as a prayer.
            —Philip James Bailey		  1
  Uprising, like a bubble in a stream.
            —Gertrude Bloede		  2
  Uprise like the islands of the Cyclades as seen from the mountains of Negroponte.
            —Paul Bourget		  3
  Uprise, like a tempestuous ocean.
            —Percy Bysshe Shelley		  4
Uprising like the smoke wraith,
Blue ascending into heaven’s blue.
            —Ellen Burns Sherman		  5
