Van Wert High

Famous quotes containing the words van, wert and/or high:

    Yes, it’s hard to write, but it’s harder not to.
    —Carl Van Doren (1885–1950)

    Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young,
    Who loved thee so fondly as he?
    He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
    And joined in thy innocent glee.
    Margaret Courtney (1822–1862)

    Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
    For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
    Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
    Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
    And Usna’s children died.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
