Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    I don’t know what the country’s coming to. Everyone trying to be better than their betters—mink coats and no manners. No wonder Germany’s arming.
    Arthur Wimperis (1874–1953)

    The things that were coming to be talked about
    Have come and gone and are still remembered
    As being recent. There is a grain of curiosity
    At the base of some new thing, that unrolls
    Its question mark like a new wave on the shore.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    With these I would be.
    And with water: the waves coming forward, without cessation,
    The waves, altered by sand-bars, beds of kelp, miscellaneous
    driftwood,
    Topped by cross-winds, tugged at by sinuous undercurrents
    The tide rustling in, sliding between the ridges of stone,
    The tongues of water, creeping in, quietly.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
