Loins

Famous quotes containing the word loins:

    So let man consider of what he was created;
    he was created of gushing water
    issuing between the loins and the breast-bones.
    Qur’An. The Night-Star, 86:5-7, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    I call on those that call me son,
    Grandson, or great-grandson,
    On uncles, aunts, great-uncles or great-aunts
    To judge what I have done.
    Have I, that put it into words,
    Spoilt what old loins have sent?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
