Famous quotes containing the words bit, torrent and/or terms:

    The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry. From that, so much else followed: where they would live, in what sort of conditions, whether they would be happy or sad or, so often, a bit of both. There were roles and there were rules.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)

    The torrent of the reaching shade
    Broke shadow into all its parts,
    What then had been of shadow made
    Found exigence in fits and starts....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    They were pipes of pagan mirth,
    And the world had found new terms of worth.
    He laid him down on the sunburned earth
    And raveled a flower and looked away.
    Play? Play? What should he play?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
