Fed

Famous quotes containing the word fed:

“Being fed by us you used us so
As that ungentle gull, the cuckoo’s bird,
Useth the sparrow.”

With Li Po’s name forgotten,
And we guardsmen fed to the tigers.”

“Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;
We have drunken of things Lethean; and fed on the fullness of death.
Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet for a day;
But love grows bitter with treason, and laurel outlives not May.
Sleep, shall we sleep after all? for the world is not sweet in the
end;
For the old faiths loosen and fall, the new years ruin and rend.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
