Mad

Famous quotes containing the word mad:

“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country.

I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“The mad girl with the staring eyes and long white fingers
Hooked in the stones of the wall,”

At a stroke our mad poetics to confute—”
And—”Are we then so serious?””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
