Lost

Famous quotes containing the word lost:

    This melancholy London—I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A woman who’d lost her first son
    consoled us with an angel gone ahead
    to pray for our family—
    gone into that sky
    seeking oxygen,
    gone into autopsy,
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    I dreamed that I stood in a valley, and amid sighs,
    For happy lovers passed two by two where I stood;
    And I dreamed my lost love came stealthily out of the wood
    With her cloud-pale eyelids falling on dream-dimmed eyes....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
