Laughing

Famous quotes containing the word laughing:

    “Saint, do you weep? I hear amid the thunder
    The Fenian horses; armour torn asunder;
    Laughter and cries. The armies clash and shock,
    And now the daylight-darkening ravens flock.
    Cease, cease, O mournful, laughing Fenian horn!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I know that Quiet
    Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
    Among pigeons and bees, while the Great Archer,
    Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
    A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Oh, for boyhood’s painless play,
    Sleep that wakes in laughing day,
    Health that mocks the doctor’s rules,
    Knowledge never learned of schools.”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
