Acoustically Dead Small

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or small:

“When I contemplate the accumulation of guilt and remorse which, like a garbage-can, I carry through life, and which is fed not only by the lightest action but by the most harmless pleasure, I feel Man to be of all living things the most biologically incompetent and ill-organized. Why has he acquired a seventy years’ life-span only to poison it incurably by the mere being of himself? Why has he thrown Conscience, like a dead rat, to putrefy in the well?”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

“Then a small rainbow like a trellis gate,
A very small moon-made prismatic bow,
Stood closely over us through which to go.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
