Weeping Willows

Famous quotes containing the words weeping and/or willows:

    And now where e’re he strayes
    Among the Galilaean mountains,
    Or more unwelcome wayes,
    Hee’s follow’d by two faithfull fountaines,
    Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
    Portable and compendious Oceans.
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    There, beyond the dykes

    I heard wind flaking sapphire, like this summer,
    And willows could not hold more steady sound.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
