Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or telescope:

    I have come to a still, but not a deep center,
    A point outside the glittering current;
    My eyes stare at the bottom of a river,
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    The telescope at one end of his beat,
    And at the other end the microscope....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
