Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or hours:
“And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
I only know that all we know comes from you,
And that you come from Eden on flying feet.
”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“O! grief hath changed me since you saw me last,
And careful hours with time’s deformèd hand
Have written strange defeatures in my face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
