Desperate

Famous quotes containing the word desperate:

    O mischief, thou art swift
    To enter in the thoughts of desperate men!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    On desperate seas long wont to roam,
    The hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
    Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
    To the glory that was Greece,
    And the grandeur that was Rome.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    No matter what disaster occurred
    She stood in desperate music wound
    Wound, wound, and she made in her triumph
    Where the bales and the baskets lay
    No common intelligible sound
    But sang, “O sea-starved hungry sea.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
