Famous quotes containing the words laughter, grief, white and/or sea:

    My beards, attend
    To the laughter of evil: the fierce ricanery
    With the ferocious chu-chot-chu between, the sobs
    For breath to laugh the louder, the deeper gasps
    Uplifting the completest rhetoric
    Of sneers....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    But no. Too soon I voun’ my charm abroke.
    Noo comely soul in white like her—
    Noo soul a-steppen light like her—
    An’ nwone o’ comely height like her—
    Went by; but all my grief agean awoke.
    William Barnes (1801–1886)

    A good soft pillow for that good white head
    Were better than a churlish turf of France.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The atoms of Democritus
    And Newton’s particles of light
    Are sands upon the Red Sea shore,
    Where Israel’s tents do shine so bright.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
