Famous quotes containing the word grew:

“... the girls who came at dawn
To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Sweetheart, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
