Famous quotes containing the words shape of, shape and/or earth:

    “The shape of a rat?
    It’s bigger than that.
    It’s less than a leg
    And more than a nose,
    Just under the water
    It usually goes.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “‘A Shape all light, which with one hand did fling
    Dew on the earth, as if she were the dawn,
    And the invisible rain did ever sing

    ‘A silver music on the mossy lawn;”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,
    The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky,
    Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard;
    Enough that he heard it once; we shall hear it by and by.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)
