Man Asleep

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or asleep:

    That God has laid His fingers on the sky,
    That from those fingers glittering summer runs
    Upon the dancer by the dreamless wave.
    Why should those lovers that no lovers miss
    Dream, until God burn Nature with a kiss?
    The man has found no comfort in the grave.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Here a pretty Baby lies
    Sung asleep with Lullabies:
    Pray be silent, and not stirre
    Th’ easie earth that covers her.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
