Edith Wharton Quote

The longed-for ships
Come empty home or founder on the deep,
And eyes first lose their tears and then their sleep.


Artemis to Actaeon (1909)


The longed-for ships Come empty home or founder on the deep, And eyes first lose their tears and then their sleep.

The longed-for ships Come empty home or founder on the deep, And eyes first lose their tears and then their sleep.

The longed-for ships Come empty home or founder on the deep, And eyes first lose their tears and then their sleep.

The longed-for ships Come empty home or founder on the deep, And eyes first lose their tears and then their sleep.
