Longer Sing

Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or sing:

    “There is grey in your hair.
    Young men no longer suddenly catch their breath
    When you are passing;
    But maybe some old gaffer mutters a blessing
    Because it was your prayer
    Recovered him upon the bed of death.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Yet some, who all this while did weep and sing,
    And sing and weep, soared up into the ring;
    But most would use no wing.
    O fools, said I, thus to prefer dark night
    Before true light!”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
