Famous quotes containing the word actions:

    Only the actions of the just
    Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.
    James Shirley (1596–1666)

    Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Can it be borne, this bodying-forth by wind
    Of joy my actions turn on, like a thread
    Carrying beads?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
