Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

“The daily arguments over putting away the toys or practicing the piano defeat us so easily. We see them coming yet they frustrate us time and time again. In many cases, we are mothers and fathers who have managed budgets and unruly bosses and done difficult jobs well through sheer tenacity and dogged preparation. So why are we unable to persuade someone three feet tall to step into six inches of water at bathtime?”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)

“When the night’s coming and the last light falls
A weak child among lost shadows on the floor....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Cold is our element and winter’s air
Brings voices as of lions coming down.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
