Famous quotes containing the words top, owner and/or points:
“Life stood on the top stair a moment
Waved her last gray slander down the stair,
I will not forget her absent eyes
Her other smile like one rose
Falling, falling everywhere....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“I am the owner of the sphere,
Of the seven stars and the solar year,
Of Caesar’s hand, and Plato’s brain,
Of Lord Christ’s heart, and Shakspeare’s strain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We only part to meet again.
Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
The faithful compass that still points to thee.”
