Famous quotes containing the words left, breast and/or suspended:
“Someone hangs in the sky
over there from a piece of rope,
hammering and fitting Gods belly-scratcher,
working his way up along the spire
until theres nothing left to nail on”
—Alfred Wellington Purdy (b. 1919)
“Fergus rules the brazen cars,
And rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“she drew back a while,
Then, yielding to the irresistible joy,
With frantic gesture and short breathless cry
Folded his frame in her dissolving arms.
Now blackness veiled his dizzy eyes, and night
Involved and swallowed up the vision; sleep,
Like a dark flood suspended in its course,
Rolled back its impulse on his vacant brain.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
