Lean

Famous quotes containing the word lean:

“Yet come to me in dreams that I may live
My very life again though cold in death:
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

To the dead Mother’s face, whose subtile down
You had not seen take amber light alive.”
