Blake Claimed

Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or claimed:

    Struggling in my father’s hands,
    Striving against my swaddling bands,
    Bound and weary, I thought best
    To sulk upon my mother’s breast.
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    The faceless head lay still. I could not run
    Or walk, but stood. Alone in the public clearing
    This private thing was owned by all the town,
    Though never claimed by us within my hearing.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
