Famous quotes containing the word drift:
“But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“To drift with every passion till my soul
Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,
Is it for this that I have given away
Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?
Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
Scrawled over on some boyish holiday”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
