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)

    Keep out of Chancery.... It’s being ground to bits in a slow mill; it’s being roasted at a slow fire; it’s being stung to death by single bees; it’s being drowned by drops; it’s going mad by grains.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    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)
