Famous quotes containing the word walking:
“And now where ere he strayes
Among the Galilaean mountains,
Or more unwelcome wayes,
Hees followd by two faithfull fountaines,
Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
Portable and compendious Oceans.”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?1649)
“Out, out, brief candle.
Lifes but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
