Drowned

Famous quotes containing the word drowned:

    The sea called
    you faced the estuary,
    you were drowned as the tide passed.
    I am glad of this
    at least you have escaped.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    He bore her away in his arms,
    The handsomest young man there,
    And his neck and his breast and his arms
    Were drowned in her long dim hair.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    he changed and ran
    Through many shapes; I lunged at the smooth throat
    Of a great eel; it changed, and I but smote
    A fir-tree roaring in its leafless top;
    And thereupon I drew the livid chop
    Of a drowned dripping body to my breast....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
