Famous quotes containing the word lovely:
“It was a cruel city, but it was a lovely one, a savage city, yet it had such tenderness, a bitter, harsh, and violent catacomb of stone and steel and tunneled rock, slashed savagely with light, and roaring, fighting a constant ceaseless warfare of men and of machinery; and yet it was so sweetly and so delicately pulsed, as full of warmth, of passion, and of love, as it was full of hate.”
—Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)
“O lovely time of beggars’ luck—”
—Léonie Adams (1899–1988)
“For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
