Cold Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or sleep:

“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“My one and noble heart has witnesses
In all love’s countries, that will watch awake;
And when blind sleep falls on the spying senses,
The heart is sensual, though five eyes break.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
