Younger Sons

Famous quotes containing the words younger and/or sons:

    “Let me not live,” quoth he,
    “After my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff
    Of younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses
    All but new things disdain.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    and of my distrusting self
    white-doctor-who-breathed-for-him-all-night
    say it for two sons gone,
    say nightmare, say it loud
    panebreaking heartmadness:
    nightmare begins responsibility.
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
