Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

    “I heard the beat of centaur’s hoofs over the hard turf
    As his dry and passionate talk devoured the afternoon.

    “His pointed ears. ... He must be unbalanced,”—
    “There was something he said that I might have challenged.””
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “And then he heard some old forgotten talk
    At a short distance like a hundred miles
    Filling the air with its secrecy,
    And was afraid of all the living air....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Sitting in that dusky wilderness, under that dark mountain, by the bright river which was full of reflected light, still I heard the wood thrush sing, as if no higher civilization could be attained. By this time the night was upon us.”
