Sleeping

Famous quotes containing the word sleeping:

“A sleeping man holds in a circle around him the thread of the hours, the order of years and of worlds. He consults them instinctively upon awaking and in one second reads in them the point of the earth that he occupies, the time past until his arousal; but their ranks can be mingled or broken.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

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

“They were not on the table with their elbows.
They were not sleeping in the shelves of bunks.
I saw no men there and no bones of men there.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
