Famous quotes containing the word hung:

    “Christianity only hopes. It has hung its harp on the willows, and cannot sing a song in a strange land. It has dreamed a sad dream, and does not yet welcome the morning with joy. The mother tells her falsehoods to her child, but, thank heaven, the child does not grow up in its parent’s shadow. Our mother’s faith has not grown with her experience. Her experience has been too much for her. The lesson of life was too hard for her to learn.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
    We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
    And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
    Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “He that hung upon the Torturing Tree
    Heard all the crickets singing, and was glad.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
