Drew

Famous quotes containing the word drew:

    We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.
    —Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard
    And made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
    Sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The miller quickly drew the dam,
    An’ there he found a drown’d woman.

    You cou’dna see her yallow hair
    For gold and pearle that were so rare.
    Unknown. The Twa Sisters (l. 32–35)
