Lay

Famous quotes containing the word lay:

    All legendary obstacles lay between
    Us, the long imaginary plain,
    The monstrous ruck of mountains
    John Montague (b. 1929)

    O but there is wisdom
    In what the sages said;
    But stretch that body for a while
    And lay down that head
    Till I have told the sages
    Where man is comforted.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I remember how they picked me up, a spindly kid,
    Pinching and poking my thin ribs
    Till I lay in their laps, laughing,
    Weak as a whiffet;
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
