Wandering

Famous quotes containing the word wandering:

    Crazed through much child-bearing
    The moon is staggering in the sky;
    Moon-struck by the despairing
    Glances of her wandering eye
    We grope, and grope in vain,
    For children born of her pain.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And a wandering beauty is a blade out of its scabbard.
    You know how dangerous, gentlemen of threescore?
    May you know it yet ten more.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Poor shad! where is thy redress? When Nature gave thee instinct, gave she thee the heart to bear thy fate? Still wandering the sea in thy scaly armor to inquire humbly at the mouths of rivers if man has perchance left them free for thee to enter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
