Sleeping

Famous quotes containing the word sleeping:

“Soon,
Light from a small intense lopsided moon
Shows them, black as their shadows, sleeping so.”

Are but as pictures; ‘tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil.”

“I heard the hissing rustle of the liquid and sands as directed to
me whispering to congratulate me,
For the one I love most lay sleeping by me under the same cover in the cool night,
In the stillness in the autumn moonbeams his face was inclined
toward me,
And his arm lay lightly around my breast—and that night I
was happy.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
