Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “I have led her home, my love, my only friend.
    There is none like her, none.
    And never yet so warmly ran my blood
    And sweetly, on and on
    Calming itself to the long-wished-for end,
    Full to the banks, close on the promised good.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “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)

    “The sun, the hero of every day, the impersonal old man that beams as brightly on death as on birth, came up every morning and raced across the blue dome and dipped into the sea of fire every evening. Water ran down hill and birds nested.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
