Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    I can sit up half the night
    With some friend that has the wit
    Not to allow his looks to tell
    When I am unintelligible.
    Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
    The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    When my arms wrap you round I press
    My heart upon the loveliness
    That has long faded from the world....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
