Severed Dreams

Famous quotes containing the words severed and/or dreams:

“It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
Along uncertainty and gales of shame
Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
I dare not think alive: only a name
That chimes occasionally, as a belief
Long since embedded in the static past.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“We seem but to linger in manhood to tell the dreams of our childhood, and they vanish out of memory ere we learn the language.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
