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)

    And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
    The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
    And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves,
    Are shaken with earth’s old and weary cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Two children, all alone and no one by,
    Holding their tattered frocks, thro’an airy maze
    Of motion lightly threaded with nimble feet
    Dance sedately; face to face they gaze,
    Their eyes shining, grave with a perfect pleasure.
    Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)
