Young Woman

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or woman:

“There’ll be that crowd, that barbarous crowd, through all the centuries,
And who can say but some young belle may walk and talk men wild
Who is my beauty’s equal, though that my heart denies,
But not the exact likeness, the simplicity of a child,
And that proud look as though she had gazed into the burning sun....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“What is desire?—
The impulse to make someone else complete?
That woman would set sodden straw on fire.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
