Famous quotes containing the words slow, wave and/or sleep:
“somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I hear
the tide turning. Last
eager wave over-
taken and pulled back
by first wave of the ebb.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“How sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their country’s wishes blest!”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
