Knew

Famous quotes containing the word knew:

“I had gone so long without loving
I hardly knew what I was thinking.

Where I hid my face, your touch, quick, merciful
Blindfolded me. A god breathed from my lips.
If that was illusion, I wanted it to last long;”
—James Merrill (b. 1926)

“He was very beautiful,
the old man,
and I knew wisdom,
I found measureless truth
in his words.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“We knew their line invincible
because there fell
on them no shiverings
of the white enchantress,
radiant Aphrodite’s spell.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
