Famous quotes containing the word asleep:
“Only, here and there, an old sailor,
Drunk and asleep in his boots,
Catches tigers
In red weather.”

““... Or how should love be worth its pains were it not
That when he has fallen asleep within my arms,
Being wearied out, I love in man the child?
What can they know of love that do not know
She builds her nest upon a narrow ledge
Above a windy precipice?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
