Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    “I cast my heart into my rhymes,
    That you, in the dim coming times,
    May know how my heart went with them
    After the red-rose-bordered hem.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Shoals of corpses shall witness, mute, even to generations to come, before the eyes of men that we ought never, being mortal, to cast our sights too high.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    “yet it seems
    Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind,
    Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams,
    But the torn petals strew the garden plot;
    And there’s but common greenness after that.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
