Famous quotes containing the word drawn:
“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Whos sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (18061861)
“A lioness, with udders all drawn dry,
Lay couching, head on ground, with cat-like watch
When that the sleeping man should stir; for tis
The royal disposition of that beast
To prey on nothing that doth seem as dead.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“It was a very primitive kind of harbor, where boats were drawn up amid the stumps,such a one, methought, as the Argo might have been launched in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
