Waking

Famous quotes containing the word waking:

    This I saw when waking late,
    Going by at a railroad rate,
    Looking through wreaths of engine smoke
    Far into the lives of other folk.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    By this he knew she wept with waking eyes:
    George Meredith (1828–1909)

    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)
