Joy Williams

Famous quotes containing the words joy and/or williams:

“Cling with life to the maid;
But when the surprise,
First vague shadow of surmise
Flits across her bosom young,
Of a joy apart from thee,
Free be she, fancy-free;
Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
Nor the palest rose she flung
From her summer diadem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Old age is
a flight of small
cheeping birds
skimming
bare trees
above a snow glaze.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
