Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “The mountain stood there to be pointed at.
    Pasture ran up the side a little way,
    And then there was a wall of trees with trunks;
    After that only tops of trees, and cliffs
    Imperfectly concealed among the leaves.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “And then I ran to get away,
    But when I stopped and turned to see,
    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.”
    —Elizabeth Madox Roberts (1880–1941)

    “She ran down the stair
    A twelve-year-old darling
    And laughing and calling
    She tossed her bright hair;”
    —John Streeter Manifold (b. 1915)
