Famous quotes containing the word willow:

    My mother dandled me and sang,
    “How young it is, how young!”
    And made a golden cradle
    That on a willow swung.
    “He went away,” my mother sang,
    “When I was brought to bed....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is a willow grows aslant a brook
    That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    She makes the willow shiver in the sun
    For maidens who were wont to sit and gaze
    Upon the grass, relinquished to their feet.
    She causes boys to pile new plums and pears
    On disregarded plate. The maidens taste
    And stray impassioned in the littering leaves.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
