Famous quotes containing the words spoke and/or length:
“Then the well spoke to me.
It said: Abundance is scooped from abundance,
yet abundance remains.
Then I knew.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The man who, from the beginning of his life, has been bathed at length in the soft atmosphere of a woman, in the smell of her hands, of her bosom, of her knees, of her hair, of her supple and floating clothes, ... has contracted from this contact a tender skin and a distinct accent, a kind of androgyny without which the harshest and most masculine genius remains, as far as perfection in art is concerned, an incomplete being.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
