Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or dying:
“Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
Lat me the dead look on;
Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
She lay an’ smil’d on him.
O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
For I hae fasted for your sake
These fully day [is] nine.”
—Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)
“That is no country for old men. The young
In one another’s arms, birds in the trees
MThose dying generations—at their song,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
