Famous quotes containing the word graves:
“Dwell on her graciousness, dwell on her smiling,
Do not forget what flowers
The great boar trampled down in ivy time.
Her brow was creamy as the crested wave,
Her sea-blue eyes were wild
But nothing promised that is not performed.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“After, when they disentwine
You from me and yours from mine,
Neither can be certain who
Was that I whose mine was you.
To the act again they go
More completely not to know.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“She tells her love while half asleep
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
