High Speed Rail

Famous quotes containing the words high, speed and/or rail:

    “We do not prove the existence of the poem.
    It is something seen and known in lesser poems.
    It is the huge, high harmony that sounds
    A little and a little, suddenly,
    By means of a separate sense. It is and it
    Is not and, therefore, is.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Life is too short to waste
    In critic peep or cynic bark,
    Quarrel or reprimand:
    ‘Twill soon be dark;
    Up, heed thine own aim, and
    God speed the mark!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
    Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
    Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
    stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
