Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    “As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “All my mother came into mine eyes
    And gave me up to tears.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “He held the world upon his nose
    And this-a-way he gave a fling.
    His robes and symbols, ai-hi-hi
    And that-a-way he twirled the thing.
    Sombre as fir-trees, liquid cats
    Moved in the grass without a sound.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
