Wished

Famous quotes containing the word wished:

“If I wished to see a mountain or other scenery under the most favorable auspices, I would go to it in foul weather, so as to be there when it cleared up; we are then in the most suitable mood, and nature is most fresh and inspiring. There is no serenity so fair as that which is just established in a tearful eye.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“We wished our two souls
might return like gulls
to the rock. In the end,
the water was too cold for us.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
