Laid

Famous quotes containing the word laid:

    I dreamed as in my bed I lay,
    All night’s fathomless wisdom come,
    That I had shorn my locks away
    And laid them on Love’s lettered tomb:
    But something bore them out of sight
    In a great tumult of the air.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It should be quite clear, then, that there are no criteria to be laid down in general for distinguishing the real from the not real.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
    Bible: Hebrew Job (l. XXXVIII, 4)
