Mother Bear

Famous quotes containing the words mother and/or bear:

“our part
To murmur name upon name,
As a mother names her child
When sleep at last has come
On limbs that had run wild.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

““Forsake me not thus, Adam! witness Heaven
What love sincere and reverence in my heart
I bear thee, and unweeting have offended,
Unhappily deceived! Thy suppliant
I beg, and clasp thy knees; beereave me not,
Whereon I live, thy gentle looks, thy aid,
Thy counsel in this uttermost distress,
My only strength and stay: forlorn of thee,
Whither shall I betake me, where subsist?”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
