Fed

Famous quotes containing the word fed:

    “We had fed the heart on fantasies,
    The heart’s grown brutal from the fare;
    More substance in our enmities
    Than in our love; O honey-bees,
    Come build in the empty house of the stare.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Being fed by us you used us so
    As that ungentle gull, the cuckoo’s bird,
    Useth the sparrow.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “All earth was but one thought—and that was death,
    Immediate and inglorious; and the pang
    Of famine fed upon all entrails—men
    Died, and their bones were tombless as their flesh;
    The meagre by the meagre were devour’d,”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
