Wake

Famous quotes containing the word wake:

“This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

Days are where we live.
They come, they wake us
Time and time over.
They are to be happy in:
Where can we live but days?”

“And whether life had been before that sleep
The Heaven which I imagine, or a Hell

‘Like this harsh world in which I wake to weep,
I know not.”
