Famous quotes containing the word gave:

    “I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
    Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
    Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
    fear at its rising
    Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.”
    —Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    “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)

    “This gave me that precarious Gait
    Some call Experience.”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
