Famous quotes containing the word slow:
“He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,

From the contagion of the worlds slow stain
He is secure, and now can never mourn
A heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain.”

In the world where the humming-bird flashed ahead of creation.
I believe he pierced the slow vegetable veins with his long beak.”

Though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad
With none among them that ever sings....”
