Famous quotes containing the words careless and/or whisper:
“Then with the careless energy
Of a dream, the forward curse
Of a cold particular eye
In the headlong hearse.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The bay-trees in our country are all withered,
And meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven.
The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth,
And lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change.
Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap;
The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
The other to enjoy by rage and war.
These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
