Widely Understood

Famous quotes containing the words widely and/or understood:

“To have no son, no wife,
No house or land still seemed quite natural.
Only a numbness registered the shock
Of finding out how much had gone of life,
How widely from the others.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“They walked the roads
Mimicking what they heard, as children mimic;
They understood that wisdom comes of beggary.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
