Famous quotes containing the words main and/or stand:
“Dust rises from the main road and old Délira is stooping in front of her hut. She doesnt look up, she softly shakes her head, her headkerchief all askew, letting out a strand of grey hair powdered, it appears, with the same dust pouring through her fingers like a rosary of misery. She repeats, we will all die, and she calls on the good Lord.”
—Jacques Roumain (19071945)
“Our fathers waterd with their tears
This sea of time whereon we sail,
Their voices were in all mens ears
Who passd within their puissant hail.
Still the same ocean round us raves,
But we stand mute, and watch the waves.”
—Matthew Arnold (18221888)
