Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

“Where have I seen before, against the wind,
These bright virgins, robed and bare of bonnet,

Flowing with music of their strange quick tongue
And adventuring with delicate paces by the stream,—
Myself a child, old suddenly at the scream
From one of the white throats which it hid among?”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

O gardener of strange flowers, what bud, what bloom,
Hast thou found sown, what gather’d in the gloom?”
