Bow

Famous quotes containing the word bow:

    The worth that worthiness should move
    Is love, that is the bow of Love.
    And love as well the foster can
    As can the mighty nobleman.
    Sweet saint, ‘tis true you worthy be,
    Yet without love nought worth to me.
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    And long shall timorous fancy see
    The painted chief, and pointed spear,
    And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
    To shadows and delusions here.
    Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

    I unknit.
    Words fly out of place
    and I, long into the desert,
    drink and drink
    and bow my head to that meadow
    the breast, the melon in it....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
