Bosom

Famous quotes containing the word bosom:

    Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
    Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
    Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
    And with some sweet oblivious antidote
    Cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff
    Which weighs upon the heart?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “O father! O father! now, now, keep your hold,
    The Erl-King has seized me—his grasp is so cold!

    Sore trembled the father; he spurr’d thro’ the wild,
    Clasping close to his bosom his shuddering child;
    He reaches his dwelling in doubt and in dread,
    But, clasp’d to his bosom, the infant was dead.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1799–1832)

    sullen fun

    Savage as childhood’s thin harmonious tear:
    O fountain, bosom source undying-dead
    Replenish me the spring of love and fear
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
