Fled

Famous quotes containing the word fled:

“The souls did from their bodies fly—
They fled to bliss or woe!
And every soul, it passed me by,
Like the whizz of my cross-bow!”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“Papooses crying on the wind’s long mane
Screamed red skin dynasties that fled the brain,”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)

“And then the man whom Sorrow named his friend
Cried out, Dim sea, hear my most piteous story!
The sea swept on and cried her old cry still,
Rolling along in dreams from hill to hill.
He fled the persecution of her glory....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
