Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    And each of the huge white creatures was huger than fourscore men;
    The tops of their ears were feathered, their hands were the claws of birds,
    And, shaking the plumes of the grasses and the leaves of the mural glen,
    The breathing came from those bodies, long warless, grown whiter than curds.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    she will not say how there
    must be more to living
    than this brief bright bridge
    of the raucous bed or even
    the slow braille touch of him
    like a heavy god grown light....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    How red the rose that is the soldier’s wound,
    The wounds of many soldiers, the wounds of all
    The soldiers that have fallen, red in blood,
    The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
