Famous quotes containing the word drew:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”

With evry Talent of a Prude,
She trembled when a Man drew near;
Salute her, and she turnd her Ear:
If oer against her you were placd
She durst not look above your Waist;”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“The miller quickly drew the dam,
An there he found a drownd woman.
You coudna see her yallow hair
For gold and pearle that were so rare.”
