Waking

Famous quotes containing the word waking:

    Even the bravest that are slain
    Shall not dissemble their surprise
    On waking to find valor reign,
    Even as on earth, in paradise....

    This I saw when waking late,
    Going by at a railroad rate,
    Looking through wreaths of engine smoke
    Far into the lives of other folk.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
    Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)
