Deep

Famous quotes containing the word deep:

    Who knows whither the clouds have fled?
    In the unscarred heaven they leave no wake,
    And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
    The heart forgets its sorrow and ache;
    The soul partakes the season’s youth,
    And the sulphurous rifts of passion and woe
    Lie deep ‘neath a silence pure and smooth,
    Like burnt-out craters healed with snow.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
    We shall overcome some day.
    Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
    We shall overcome some day.
    —Anonymous.

    According to Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations (16th ed., 1992)

    Metal, intrinsic value, deep and dense,
    Preanimate, inimitable, still,
    Real, but an evil with no human sense,
    Dispersed the mind to concentrate the will.
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
