Famous quotes containing the word crowds:
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The long high tent of growing and making, wired-off
Wood tables past which crowds shuffle, eyeing the scrubbed
spaced
Extrusions of earth....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Good-bye, proud world! I’m Going home;
Thou art not my friend, and I’m not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
