Floats

Famous quotes containing the word floats:

    A sweetheart from another life floats there
    As though she had been forced to linger
    From vague distress
    Or arrogant loveliness,
    Merely to loosen out a tress
    Among the starry eddies of her hair....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Rain falls for centuries
    Soaking the loose rocks in space
    Sweet rain, the fire’s out
    The black snag glistens in the rain
    & the last wisp of smoke floats up
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    Ah, broken is the golden bowl! the spirit flown forever!
    Let the bell toll!—a saintly soul floats on the Stygian river;
    And, Guy De Vere, hast thou no tear?—weep now or never more!
    See! on yon drear and rigid bier low lies thy love, Lenore!
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
