Alternate

Famous quotes containing the word alternate:

“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“I alternate treading water
and deadman’s float.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
—Henry James (1843–1816)
