Learnt

Famous quotes containing the word learnt:

“Among those few, out of the sun,
The woodspurge flowered, three cups in one.

From perfect grief there need not be
Wisdom or even memory:
One thing then learnt remains to me,—
The woodspurge has a cup of three.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

“I learnt the verbs of will, and had my secret;
The code of night tapped on my tongue;
What had been one was many sounding minded.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss. It was more than that. It was the period in which we suffered more total losses than in all the rest of our life put together.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
