Famous quotes containing the word willows:

    There, beyond the dykes

    I heard wind flaking sapphire, like this summer,
    And willows could not hold more steady sound.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    The imaged word, it is that holds
    Hushed willows anchored in its glow.
    It is the unbetrayable reply
    Whose accent no farewell can know.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
