Rocking

Famous quotes containing the word rocking:

    twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    her rocking horse was pain
    with vomit steaming from her mouth.
    Her belly was big with another child,
    cancer’s baby, big as a football.
    I could not soothe.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
