Wide

Famous quotes containing the word wide:

    “Fly-catchers of the moon,
    Our hands are blenched, our fingers seem
    But slender needles of bone;
    Blenched by that malicious dream
    They are spread wide that each
    May rend what comes in reach.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Alone, alone, all, all alone,
    Alone on a wide wide sea!
    And never a saint took pity on
    My soul in agony.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “This wide and universal theatre
    Presents more woeful pageants than the scene
    Wherein we play in.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
