Sad Eyed Lady

Famous quotes containing the words sad, eyed and/or lady:

    It is a sad truth, but we have lost the faculty of giving lovely names to things. Names are everything. I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words.... The man who could call a spade a spade should be compelled to use one. It is the only thing he is fit for.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    This morning, there flew up the lane
    A timid lady-bird to our bird-bath
    And eyed her image dolefully as death;
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    I am a cowboy in the boat of Ra. I bedded
    down with Isis, Lady of the Boogaloo, dove
    down deep in her horny, stuck up her Wells-Far-ago
    in daring midday get away.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
