Famous quotes containing the word drop:

    There is regret. Always, there is regret.
    But it is better that our lives unloose,
    As two tall ships, wind-mastered, wet with light,
    Break from an estuary with their courses set,
    And waving part, and waving drop from sight.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    O make harmonious mix of voice and string
    To him by whom the skies with clouds are lin’d;
    By whom the rain, from clouds to drop assign’d,
    Supples the clods of summer-scorched fields,
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)

    From a drop of water a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
