Drift Nets

Famous quotes containing the words drift and/or nets:

    To drift with every passion till my soul
    Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,
    Is it for this that I have given away
    Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?
    Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
    Scrawled over on some boyish holiday
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Shakespearean fish swam the sea, far away from land;
    Romantic fish swam in nets coming to the hand....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
