Fed

Famous quotes containing the word fed:

    We had fed the heart on fantasies,
    The heart’s grown brutal from the fare;
    More substance in our enmities
    Than in our love; O honey-bees,
    Come build in the empty house of the stare.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
    Bible: Hebrew Jeremiah 5:8.
