Heard

Famous quotes containing the word heard:

    In the atom’s fizz and pop we heard possibility
    uncorked. Taffeta wraps whispered on davenports.
    A new planet bloomed above us; in its light
    the stumps of cut pine gleamed like dinner plates.
    The world was beginning all over again, fresh and hot;
    we could have anything we wanted.
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)

    That most ingenious paradox!
    We’ve quips and quibbles heard in flocks,
    But none to beat that paradox!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    As they wend away
    A voice is heard singing
    Of Kitty, or Katy,
    As if the name meant once
    All love, all beauty.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
