Sleeping

Famous quotes containing the word sleeping:

“Bunched upside down, they sleep in air.
Their sharp ears, their sharp teeth, their quick sharp faces
Are dull and slow and mild.
All the bright day, as the mother sleeps,
She folds her wings about her sleeping child.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

“An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.”
—Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

“sometimes sleeping in the open
I think backwhen I had you.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
