Cries

Famous quotes containing the word cries:

““Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me;
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.””
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)

“Far from her nest the lapwing cries away;
My heart prays for him, though my tongue do curse.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Like the shark, it contains a shoe.
It must swim for miles through the desert
Uttering cries that are almost human.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
