The Rock Cried Out

Famous quotes containing the words cried out, rock and/or cried:

    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)

    When the rock was hid by the surges’ swell,
    The mariners heard the warning bell,
    And then they knew the perilous rock,
    And bless’d the Abbot of Aberbrothok.
    Robert Southey (1774–1843)

    I tell you nothing is known, cried Mr Nixon. Nothing.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
