Immortal Strand

Famous quotes containing the words immortal and/or strand:

    But you broke into heaven’s immortal store,
    Where virtue, honor, wit, and beauty lay;
    Which taking thence you have escaped away,
    Yet stand as free as ere you did before;
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    You went on with your dying.
    Nothing could stop you. Not your son. Not your daughter
    Who fed you and made you into a child again.
    —Mark Strand (b. 1934)
