Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    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)

    How red the rose that is the soldier’s wound,
    The wounds of many soldiers, the wounds of all
    The soldiers that have fallen, red in blood,
    The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I have grown so tired of Woman with a capital W, though I suppose it is rankest heresy to say so. I don’t want to be Woman at all—I have begun to feel that I want to be something like this—WO—A–.
    Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924)
