Famous quotes containing the words time, close and/or eyes:
“Their time past, pulled down
cracked and flung to the fire
Mgo up in a roar
All recognition lost, burnt clean
clean in the flame, the green
dispersed,”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her;
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening snow.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“I saw my lady weep,
And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
Her face was full of woe;
But such a woe, believe me, as wins more hearts
Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.”
—Unknown. I Saw My Lady Weep (l. 1–6)
