Famous quotes containing the word haggard:

    On a rock, whose haughty brow,
    Frowns o’er old Conway’s foaming flood,
    Robed in the sable garb of woe,
    With haggard eyes the Poet stood;
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

    It is in these acts called trivialities that the seeds of joy are forever wasted, until men and women look round with haggard faces at the devastation their own waste has made, and say, the earth bears no harvest of sweetness—calling their denial knowledge.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
