Joy Williams

Famous quotes containing the words joy and/or williams:

    “Cling with life to the maid;
    But when the surprise,
    First vague shadow of surmise
    Flits across her bosom young,
    Of a joy apart from thee,
    Free be she, fancy-free;
    Nor thou detain her vesture’s hem,
    Nor the palest rose she flung
    From her summer diadem.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Sure
    love is cruel
    and selfish
    and totally obtuse—
    at least, blinded by the light,
    young love is.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
