Famous quotes containing the words motion is, motion and/or felt:
“subways, rivered under streets
and rivers . . . in the car

—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
“There’s not the smallest orb which thou behold’st

Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He never felt twice the same about the flecked river,

—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
