Famous quotes containing the word tired:
“Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood
Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired land where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in that land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
“I wept as I remembered how often you and I
Had tired the sun with talking and sent him down the sky.”
—Callimachus (c.305–240 B.C.)
