Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

    And my spirit is grown to a lordly great compass within,
    That the length and the breadth and the sweep of the marshes of
    Glynn
    Will work me no fear like the fear they have wrought me of yore
    When length was failure, and when breadth was but bitterness sore,
    And when terror and shrinking and dreary unnamable pain
    Drew over me out of the merciless miles of the plain,—
    Oh, now, unafraid, I am fain to face
    The vast sweet visage of space.
    Sidney Lanier (1842–1881)

    Mother’s arms are made of tenderness,
    And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Cried out the whole night long,
    Crying amid the glittering sea,
    Naming it with ecstatic breath,
    Because it had such dignity,
    By the sweet name of Death.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
