Famous quotes containing the words curse and/or lost:

    She left the web, she left the loom,
    She made three paces through the room,
    She saw the water-lily bloom,
    She saw the helmet and the plume,
    She looked down to Camelot.
    Out flew the web and floated wide;
    The mirror cracked from side to side;
    “The curse is come upon me,” cried
    The Lady of Shalott.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    I lost the love of heaven above,
    I spurned the lust of earth below,
    I felt the sweets of fancied love,
    And hell itself my only foe.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
