Famous quotes containing the words cup and/or final:

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    For I had expected always
    Some brightness to hold in trust,
    Some final innocence
    To save from dust;
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
