Flown

Famous quotes containing the word flown:

    And when night
    Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons
    Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Will lovely, lively, virginal today
    Shatter for us with a wing’s drunken blow
    This hard, forgotten lake haunted in snow
    By the sheer ice of flocks not flown away!
    Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)

    Ah, broken is the golden bowl! the spirit flown forever!
    Let the bell toll!—a saintly soul floats on the Stygian river;
    And, Guy De Vere, hast thou no tear?—weep now or never more!
    See! on yon drear and rigid bier low lies thy love, Lenore!
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
