Laid

Famous quotes containing the word laid:

“He laid his two sides down on the floor,
one part soft as a woman,
one part a barbed hook,
one part papa,
one part Doppelgänger.”

He never was a poet of God’s making;
The midwife laid her hand on his thick skull,
With this prophetic blessing—Be thou dull;”

“Now that you are laid out,
useless as a blind dog,
now that you no longer lurk,
the song rings in my head.”
