Unknown. The Unquiet Grave

Famous quotes containing the words unknown, unquiet and/or grave:

    All nature is but art unknown to thee;
    All chance, direction which thou canst not see;
    All discord, harmony not understood;
    All partial evil, universal good;
    And, spite of pride, in erring reason’s spite,
    One truth is clear, “Whatever IS, is RIGHT.”
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    But where is laid the sailor John
    That so many lands had known,
    Quiet lands or unquiet seas
    Where the Indians trade or Japanese?
    He never found his rest ashore,
    Moping for one voyage more.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Out of a grave I come to tell you this,
    Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
    That flames upon your forehead with a glow
    That blinds you to the way that you must go.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
