Famous quotes containing the word marrow:

    ““A young man in the dark am I
    But a wild old man in the light
    That can make a cat laugh, or
    Can touch by mother wit
    Things hid in their marrow bones
    From time long passed away....””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    —D.H. (David Herbert)
