Famous quotes containing the words india, pale and/or ale:

    But nothing in India is identifiable, the mere asking of a question causes it to disappear or to merge in something else.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Horse, you flame thrower,
    you shark-mouthed man,
    you laughter at the end of poems,
    you brown furry locomotive
    whipping the snow, I am
    a pale shadow beside you.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I consider my selfbeing ... that taste of myself, of I and me above and in all things, which is more distinctive than the taste of ale or alum, more distinctive than the smell of walnutleaf or camphor, and is incommunicable by any means to another man.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
