Famous quotes containing the word wan:

    “With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb’st the skies;
    How silently, and with how wan a face.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “one pale woman all alone,
    The daylight kissing her wan hair,
    Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
    With lips of flame and heart of stone.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “bacterial creepers
    Wriggling through wounds
    Like elvers in ponds,
    Their wan mouths kissing the warm sutures,
    Cleaning and caressing,
    Creeping and healing.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
