Shaking

Famous quotes containing the word shaking:

“And each of the huge white creatures was huger than fourscore men;
The tops of their ears were feathered, their hands were the claws of birds,
And, shaking the plumes of the grasses and the leaves of the mural glen,
The breathing came from those bodies, long warless, grown whiter than curds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“When women kiss it always reminds one of prize-fighters shaking hands.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
