lain Quotes

There hath he lain for ages and will lie Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep Until the latter fire shall heat the deep.

—Tennyson

It is best to live anyhow, as one may; do not be afraid of marriage with your mother! Many have lain with their mothers in dreams too. It is he to whom such things are nothing who puts up with life best.

—Sophocles
