Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    You know what? Poets are being pursued by the philosophers today out of the poverty of philosophy. God damn it, you might think a man had no business to be writing, to be a poet unless some philosophic stinker gave him permission.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    And though your daisies are an unwanted death,
    I wade through the smell of their cancer
    and recognize the prognosis,
    its cartful of loss . . .
    I say now,
    you gave what you could.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “You gave me the key of your heart, my love;
    Then why did you make me knock?”
    Oh that was yesterday, saints above!
    And last night—I changed the lock!
    John Boyle O’Reilly (1844–1890)
