Grew

Famous quotes containing the word grew:

“It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
Along uncertainty and gales of shame
Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
I dare not think alive: only a name
That chimes occasionally, as a belief
Long since embedded in the static past.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Paris came to Ida.
He grew to slim height
Among the silver-hoofed beasts.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“I grew wild
Even accusing Heaven because
It had set down among its laws:
Nothing that we love over-much
Is ponderable to our touch.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
