Chilled Brood

Famous quotes containing the words chilled and/or brood:

    Your beauty can but leave among us
    Vague memories, nothing but memories.
    A young man when the old men are done talking
    Will say to an old man, “Tell me of that lady
    The poet stubborn with his passion sang us
    When age might well have chilled his blood.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The sorrow for the dead is the only sorrow from which we refuse to be divorced. Every other wound we seek to heal—every other affliction to forget: but this wound we consider it a duty to keep open—this affliction we cherish and brood over in solitude.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)
