Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or upright:
“To stand on common ground
here and there gritty with pebbles
yet elsewhere fine and mellow
uncommon fine for ploughing
there to labor
planting the vegetable words”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Come gather round me Parnellites
And praise our chosen man,
Stand upright on your legs awhile,
Stand upright while you can,
For soon we lie where he is laid
And he is underground....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
