Longed

Famous quotes containing the word longed:

“Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from sea.
And the hunter home from the hill.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

Still longed for, never seen.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
