Crone Quotes
Take this as a gift from a crone to a maiden, and know there is not so much difference between the two. For even a tottering granddam keeps a portion of girlish heart, and the youngest maiden a thread of old woman's wisdom.
Lloyd Alexander
From his hole so wet and drenching a pike rose up to tree to sing when through the greyish net of clouds first gleam of day was seen and at the lake the lapping waves woke up with joyous mean the pike rose to the spruce's crone to take a bite at reddish cone.
Aaro Hellaakoski
Everything, everything, everything! I want to know everything. I want the privilege of being a crone.
Susan Powter
the hollow voice Of that old crone, the only living sound; Her face, on which mortality has writ Its closing, with the wan and bony hand, Raised like a spectre's-and yourself the while, Cold from the midnight chill, and white with fear, Your large blue eyes darker and larger grown With terror's chain'd attention, and your breath Suppress'd for very earnestness.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
