Watched

Famous quotes containing the word watched:

    “I, in my pleached garden, watched the pomp,
    Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
    Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
    Turned and departed silent. I, too late,
    Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Felix Randal the farrier, O he is dead then? My duty all is ended,
    Who have watched his mould of man, big-boned and hardy-handsome,
    Pining, pining, till time when reason rambled in it and some
    Fatal four disorders, fleshed there, all contended?”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
    Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
    And he sang as he watched and waited while his billy boiled:
    ‘Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?’”
    —Andrew Barton Peterson (1864–1941)
