Famous quotes containing the word crowds:
“The long high tent of growing and making, wired-off
Wood tables past which crowds shuffle, eyeing the scrubbed
spaced
Extrusions of earth....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I do not find
The Hanged Man. Fear death by water.
I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.
Thank you.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
