Adventure Boxed Set

Famous quotes containing the words adventure, boxed and/or set:

    A man I praise that once in Tara’s Halls
    Said to the woman on his knees, “Lie still,
    My hundredth year is at an end. I think
    That something is about to happen, I think
    That the adventure of old age begins....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We then lived roses; I had fooled despair
    And boxed him up and flogged his retinue,
    Made strong by cheeks and lips! I sucked in dew,
    And dragged the world, a weakling, by the hair.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The host, the housekeeper, it is
    who fails you. He had forgotten
    to make room for you at the hearth
    or set a place for you at the table
    or leave the doors unlocked for you.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
