Famous quotes containing the word fell:

    “I fell her finger light
    Laid pausefully upon life’s headlong train;—
    The foot less prompt to meet the morning dew,
    The heart less bounding at emotion new,
    And hope, once crush’d, less quick to spring again.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “I loved, but woman fell away;
    I hid me from her faded fame.
    I snatched the sun’s eternal ray
    And wrote till earth was but a name.”
    —John Clare (1793–1864)

    “And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Mark 4:4.
