Careless

Famous quotes containing the word careless:

“We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Constant Penelope sends to thee, careless Ulysses.
Write not again, but come, sweet mate,”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

“We hold our hate too choice a thing
For light and careless lavishing.”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1936)
