Raised

Famous quotes containing the word raised:

    A little way within the gloom a roebuck raised his eyes
    Brimful of starlight, and he said: The Stamper of the Skies,
    He is a gentle roebuck; for how else, I pray, could He
    Conceive a thing so sad and soft, a gentle thing like me?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But dread
    was in her, a bloodbeat, it was against the rolling dark
    oncoming river she raised bulwarks....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Upon the whole I am inclined to think that the far greater part, if not all of those difficulties, which have hitherto amused philosophers, and blocked up the way to knowledge, are entirely owing to our selves. That we have raised a dust, and then complain that we cannot see.
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)
