Meter Gauge Lines

Famous quotes containing the words meter and/or lines:

    “His meter was bitter, and ironic and spectacular and inviting: so was life. There wasn’t much other life during those times than to what his pen paid the tribute of poetic tragic glamour and offered the reconciliation of the familiarities of tragedy.”
    —Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    “I struck the board, and cried, “No more.
    I will abroad.”
    What? Shall I ever sigh and pine?
    My lines and life are free; free as the road,
    Loose as the wind, as large as store.
    Shall I be still in suit?”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)
