Famous quotes containing the words sad, eyed and/or lady:
“Lift not thy spear against the Muses bower:
The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
Went to the ground; and the repeated air
Of sad Electras poet had the power
To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“And the child not caring to whom he climbs his prayer
Shall drown in a grief as deep as his made grave,
And mark the dark eyed wave, through the eyes of sleep,
Dragging him up the stairs to one who lies dead.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“Sweet Suffolk Owl, so trimly dight
With feathers, like a lady bright,
Thou singst alone, sitting by night,
Te whit! Te whoo! Te whit! To whit!”
—Thomas Vautor (fl. c. 1590?)
