Tossing

Famous quotes containing the word tossing:

“Violence upon the roads: violence of horses;
Some few have handsome riders, are garlanded
On delicate sensitive ear or tossing mane,
But wearied running round and round in their courses
All break and vanish, and evil gathers head:
Herodias’ daughters have returned again.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“young men, tossing on their beds,
Rhymed out in love’s despair
To flatter beauty’s ignorant ear.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Think of our little eggshell of a canoe tossing across that great lake, a mere black speck to the eagle soaring above it!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
