Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    A feme may come, leaf-green,
    Whose coming may give revel
    Beyond revelries of sleep,
    Yes, and the blackbird spread its tail,
    So that the sun may speckle,
    While it creaks hail.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Not yesterday I learned to know
    The love of bare November days
    Before the coming of the snow....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
