Cold Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or sleep:

    The cold wet winds ever blowing,
    And the shadowy hazel grove
    Where mouse-grey waters are flowing,
    Threaten the head that I love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;
    We have drunken of things Lethean; and fed on the fullness of death.
    Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet for a day;
    But love grows bitter with treason, and laurel outlives not May.
    Sleep, shall we sleep after all? for the world is not sweet in the
    end;
    For the old faiths loosen and fall, the new years ruin and rend.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
