Granted

Famous quotes containing the word granted:

    May she be granted beauty and yet not
    Beauty to make a stranger’s eye distraught,
    Or hers before a looking-glass, for such,
    Being made beautiful overmuch,
    Consider beauty a sufficient end,
    Lose natural kindness
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed,
    That I languished and pined till I granted the rest.
    John Gay (1685–1732)
