Drowned

Famous quotes containing the word drowned:

“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)

Orlando. He is drowned in the brook; look but in, and you
shall see him.”

The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind.”
