Famous quotes containing the word limbs:

    “At Eutaw Springs the valiant died;
    Their limbs with dust are covered o’er—
    Weep on, ye springs, your tearful tide;
    How many heroes are no more!”
    —Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    “our part
    To murmur name upon name,
    As a mother names her child
    When sleep at last has come
    On limbs that had run wild.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ““Find meat on bones that soon have none,
    And drink in the two milked crags,
    The merriest marrow and the dregs
    Before the ladies’ breasts are hags
    And the limbs are torn....””
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
