John Doe Lives

Famous quotes containing the words doe and/or lives:

    Sleep, beloved, such a sleep
    As did that wild Tristram know
    When, the potion’s work being done,
    Roe could run or doe could leap
    Under oak and beechen bough,
    Roe could leap or doe could run....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Why should not our whole life and its scenery be actually thus fair and distinct? All our lives want a suitable background. They should at least, like the life of the anchorite, be as impressive to behold as objects in a desert, a broken shaft or crumbling mound against a limitless horizon.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
