Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

Of half-forgotten innocent old places:
We and our bitterness have left no traces
On Munster grass and Connemara skies.”

And a manner that was innocent of sin,
His galluses greasy, his eyes coldly gray,
Appeared, and with a gravely learned air
Spoke from the deep coherence of hell....”

“The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands.”
