Stood

Famous quotes containing the word stood:

“I dreamed that I stood in a valley, and amid sighs,
For happy lovers passed two by two where I stood;
And I dreamed my lost love came stealthily out of the wood
With her cloud-pale eyelids falling on dream-dimmed eyes....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“He stood bewildered, not appalled, on that dark shore which separates the ancient and the modern world.... He is power, passion, self-will personified.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

“Over me the wind swirls.
I have stood on your portal
and I know
you are further than this,
still further on another cliff.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
