Cold Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or sleep:

    How cold the vacancy
    When the phantoms are gone and the shaken realist
    First sees reality. The mortal no
    Has its emptiness and tragic expirations.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The city sleeps and the country sleeps,
    The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time,
    The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife;
    And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them,
    And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,
    And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
