Famous quotes containing the words crooked and/or man:

    A wreathed garland of deserved praise,
    Of praise deserved, unto Thee I give,
    I give to Thee, who knowest all my ways,
    My crooked winding ways, wherein I live,
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    It were sad to gaze on the blessèd and no man I loved of old there;
    I throw down the chain of small stones! when life in my body has ceased,
    I will go to Caoilte, and Conan, and Bran, Sceolan, Lomair,
    And dwell in the house of the Fenians, be they in flames or at feast.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
