Famous quotes containing the word listen:
“They listen for me in the bedroom
To ask me a thing or two
About who is too old to go walking,
With too much stress on the who.”

Draw the Glasnevin coverlet anew
About your head till the dust stops your ear,
The time for you to taste of that salt breath
And listen at the corners has not come;
You had enough of sorrow before death—”
