Thy Neck

Famous quotes containing the words thy and/or neck:

“April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter;
Then, the moment after,
Weep thy girlish tears!”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1935)

“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.

But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
