Famous quotes containing the words vincent and/or raven:

    “Hearing your words, and not a word among them
    Tuned to my liking, on a salty day
    When inland woods were pushed by winds, that flung them
    Hissing to leeward like a ton of spray,”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “This whole day have I followed in the rocks,
    And you have changed and flowed from shape to shape,
    First as a raven on whose ancient wings
    Scarcely a feather lingered, then you seemed
    A weasel moving on from stone to stone....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
