Turn

Famous quotes containing the word turn:

“Despising,
For you, the city, thus I turn my back;
There is a world elsewhere.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“O heart! O heart! if she’d but turn her head,
You’d know the folly of being comforted.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
