Famous quotes containing the word drew:

“She drew back; he was calm
‘It is this that had the power,’
And he lashed his open palm
With the tender-headed flower.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“The miller quickly drew the dam,
An’ there he found a drown’d woman.

You cou’dna see her yallow hair
For gold and pearle that were so rare.”

“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
