Sleep Terrors

Famous quotes containing the words sleep and/or terrors:

“How gladly would I meet,
Mortality, my sentence, and be earth
Insensible! how glad would lay me down,
As in my mother’s lap! There I should rest,
And sleep secure.”

Pastoral terrors of youth still in the man,
Torsions of sleep, in emblematic verse
Rattling like dice unless the verse shall scan
All chance away....”
