Winter Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or sleep:

    All men hesitate
    Separately, always, seeing another year gone
    Frockcoated gentleman, farmer at his gate,
    Villein with mattock, soldiers on their shields,
    All silent, watching the winter coming on.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    My one and noble heart has witnesses
    In all love’s countries, that will watch awake;
    And when blind sleep falls on the spying senses,
    The heart is sensual, though five eyes break.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
