Meredith

Famous quotes containing the word meredith:

    Swift doth young Love flee,
    And we stand wakened, shivering from our dream.
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
    The union of this ever-diverse pair!
    These two were rapid falcons in a snare,
    Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)

    Darker grows the valley, more and more forgetting:
    So were it with me if forgetting could be willed.
    Tell the grassy hollow that holds the bubbling well-spring
    Tell it to forget the source that keeps it filled.
    —George Meredith (1828–1909)
