Famous quotes containing the words address and/or space:

    “In the mythus a superhuman intelligence uses the unconscious thoughts and dreams of men as its hieroglyphics to address men unborn.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “When my body leaves me
    I’m lonesome for it.

    goes away to I don’t know where
    and it’s lonesome to drift
    above the space it
    fills when it’s here.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
