Wide

Famous quotes containing the word wide:

“The voices of that hearth are still;
Look where we may, the wide earth o’er,
Those lighted faces smile no more.”

“In sunburnt parks where Sundays lie,
Or the wide wastes beyond the cities,
Teams in grey deploy through sunlight.

Talk it up, boys, a little practice.”

“Fly-catchers of the moon,
Our hands are blenched, our fingers seem
But slender needles of bone;
Blenched by that malicious dream
They are spread wide that each
May rend what comes in reach.”
