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)

    The poet will prevail to be popular in spite of his faults, and in spite of his beauties too. He will hit the nail on the head, and we shall not know the shape of his hammer. He makes us free of his hearth and heart, which is greater than to offer one the freedom of a city.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If from the earth we came, it was an earth
    That bore us as a part of all the things
    It breeds and that was lewder than it is.
    Our nature is her nature. Hence it comes,
    Since by our nature we grow old, earth grows
    The same. We parallel the mother’s death.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
