Quotes About Gypsy

On the blue summer evenings, I will go along the paths, And walk over the short grass, as I am pricked by the wheat: Daydreaming I will feel the coolness on my feet. I will let the wind bathe my bare head. I will not speak, I will have no thoughts: But infinite love will mount in my soul; And I will go far, far off, like a gypsy, through the countryside - as happy as if I were with a woman. Sensation
~ Arthur Rimbaud

though I wouldn't have admitted it, even to myself, I didn't want God aboard. He was too heavy. I wanted Him approving from a considerable distance. I didn't want to be thinking of Him. I wanted to be free—like Gypsy. I wanted life itself, the color and fire and loveliness of life. And Christ now and then, like a loved poem I could read when I wanted to. I didn't want us to be swallowed up in God. I wanted holidays from the school of Christ.
~ Sheldon Vanauken

If you call a gypsy a vagabond, I think you do him wrong, For he never goes a-travelling but he takes his home along. And the only reason a road is good, as every wanderer knows, Is just because of the homes, the homes, the homes to which it goes.
~ Joyce Kilmer

Sobre el rostro del aljibe se mecía la gitana. Verde carne, pelo verde, con ojos de fría plata. Un carámbano de luna la sostiene sobre el agua. La noche se puso íntima como una pequeña plaza. Over the mouth of the cistern the gypsy girl was swinging, green flesh, her hair green, with eyes of cold silver. An icicle of moon holds her up above the water. The night became intimate like a little plaza.
~ Federico Garcia Lorca
ROMANCERO SONÁMBULO VERDE que te quiero verde. Verde viento. Verdes ramas. El barco sobre la mar y el caballo en la montaña.

Bajo la luna gitana, las cosas la están mirando y ella no puede mirarlas.
~ Federico Garcia Lorca

In the theater the actor had uncertainty, broken promises, constant travel and a gypsy existence. In radio, if you were successful, there was an assured season of work.

~ Fred Allen
I do not like anis, Pablo said. The acrid smell had carried across the table and he had picked out the one familiar component. Good, said Robert Jordan. Because there is very little left.

If you have anything wrong this will cure it.

He said, 'Get Bette Midler, and you have an on-the-air commitment.'
~ Craig Zadan
