Walked

Famous quotes containing the word walked:

    The wind flapped loose, the wind was still,
    Shaken out dead from tree and hill:
    I had walked on at the wind’s will,—
    I sat now, for the wind was still.
    Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    They walked the roads
    Mimicking what they heard, as children mimic;
    They understood that wisdom comes of beggary.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We had won. Pimps got out of their polished cars and walked the streets of San Francisco only a little uneasy at the unusual exercise. Gamblers, ignoring their sensitive fingers, shook hands with shoeshine boys.... Beauticians spoke to the shipyard workers, who in turn spoke to the easy ladies.... I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
