Dogs

Famous quotes containing the word dogs:

    Hark, all you ladies that do sleep!
    The fairy queen
    Bids you awake, and pity them that weep.
    You may do in the dark
    What the day doth forbid.
    Fear not the dogs that bark;
    Night will have all hid.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    I came on a great house in the middle of the night
    Its open lighted doorway and its windows all alight,
    And all my friends were there and made me welcome too;
    But I woke in an old ruin that the winds howled through;
    And when I pay attention I must out and walk
    Among the dogs and horses that understand my talk.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    He turns agen and drives the noisy crowd
    And beats the dogs in noises loud.
    He drives away and beats them every one,
    And then they loose them all and set them on.
    He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
    Then starts and grins and drives the crowd agen;
    Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
    And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
