Blows

Famous quotes containing the word blows:

“Give me that glass, and therein will I read.
No deeper wrinkles yet? Hath sorrow struck
So many blows upon this face of mine
And made no deeper wounds?”

““A girl I had, but she followed another,
Money I had, and it went in the night,
Strong drink I had, and it brought me to sorrow,
But a good strong cause and blows are delight.”
All there caught up the tune:
“On, on, my darling man.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
