Famous quotes containing the word one:

    O would, beloved, that you lay
    Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
    While lights were paling one by one.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There is room in the halls of pleasure
    For a large and lordly train,
    But one by one we must all file on
    Through the narrow aisles of pain.
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)

    What is the waiting head doing? It looks the same.
    Will it lean forward as I turn to go?
    I think I can hear it call to me below
    but no one came no one came.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
