Famous quotes containing the word gliding:
“How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“I stand on a bridge of one span
and see this calm act, this gathering up
of life, of spring water
and the Muse gliding ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“One might call habit a moral friction: something that prevents the mind from gliding over things but connects it with them and makes it hard for it to free itself from them.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
