Met

Famous quotes containing the word met:

    No, I have never found
    The place where I could say
    This is my proper ground,
    Here I shall stay;
    Nor met that special one
    Who has an instant claim
    On everything I own
    Down to my name....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    My thoughts: They are like persons met upon a journey—I think them very agreeable at first, but soon find, as a rule, that I am tired of them.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    But always and sometimes questioning the old modes
    And the new wondering, the poem, growing up through the floor,
    Standing tall in tubers, invading and smashing the ritual
    Parlor, demands to be met on its own terms now,
    Now that the preliminary negotiations are at last over.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
