Famous quotes containing the words sleeping and/or sickness:

    “Bunched upside down, they sleep in air.
    Their sharp ears, their sharp teeth, their quick sharp faces
    Are dull and slow and mild.
    All the bright day, as the mother sleeps,
    She folds her wings about her sleeping child.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
