Sad Eyed Lady

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

    Come away, come away, death,
    And in sad cypress let me be laid.
    Fly away, fly away, breath,
    I am slain by a fair cruel maid.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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 askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
