Famous quotes containing the words left, breast and/or suspended:
“What’s left to sigh for,
Strange night has come;
God’s love has hidden him
Out of all harm,
Pleasure has made him
Weak as a worm.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Swift beating on his breast in sibylline frenzy blind
Because the heart in his blood-sodden breast had dragged him down into mankind ...”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“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 (1792–1822)
