Famous quotes containing the word grew:
“Sweetheart, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.”

“I had this thought a while ago,
“My darling cannot understand
What I have done, or what would do
In this blind bitter land.”
And I grew weary of the sun”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
