Drowsy

Famous quotes containing the word drowsy:

    “The foolish fears of what might happen.
    I cast them all away
    Among the clover-scented grass,
    Among the new-mown hay,
    Among the husking of the corn,
    Where drowsy poppies nod
    Where ill thoughts die and good are born—
    Out in the fields with God.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “A potent quack, long versed in human ills,
    Who first insults the victim whom he kills;
    Whose murd’rous hand a drowsy bench protect,
    And whose most tender mercy is neglect.”
    —George Crabbe (1754–1832)

    “When the heat of the summer
    Made drowsy the land,
    A dragon-fly came
    And sat on my hand;”
    —Eleanor Farjeon (1881–1965)
