Strange Woman

Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or woman:

    Grumble and swear and curse,
    brother, god and the boat,
    and the great waves,
    but could you guess
    what strange terror lurks in the sea-depth,
    you’d thank the gods for the ship.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
    —“Burial of the Dead,” first anthem, Book of Common Prayer (1662)
