Grown

Famous quotes containing the word grown:

    I am sure ‘tis safer to
    Avoid what’s grown than question how ‘tis born.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
    Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
    And that unrest which men miscall delight,
    Can touch him not and torture not again;
    From the contagion of the world’s slow stain
    He is secure, and now can never mourn
    A heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Unwearied still, lover by lover,
    They paddle in the cold
    Companionable streams or climb the air;
    Their hearts have not grown old;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
