Famous quotes containing the word coming:
“People who begin sentences with “I may be old-fashioned but—” are usually not only old-fashioned but wrong. I never thought the time would come when I should catch myself leading off with that crack. But I feel it coming on right now.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Darkness

poketricks of stars,
the yellow mouth,
the smell of a stranger,
dawn coming up ...”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
