Stretched

Famous quotes containing the word stretched:

    Old men who never cheated, never doubted,
    Communicated monthly, sit and stare
    At the new suburb stretched beyond the run-way
    Where a young man lands hatless from the air.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    Thou, pallid there as chalk,
    Hast kept of wounds, O Mourner, all that sum
    That then from Appomattox stretched to Somme!
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Hard by the lilied Nile I saw
    A duskish river dragon stretched along.
    The brown habergeon of his limbs enamelled
    With sanguine alamandines and rainy pearl:
    And on his back there lay a young one sleeping,
    No bigger than a mouse;
    Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
