Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or east:
“Now, in my middle age,
about nineteen in the head I’d say,
I am rowing, I am rowing....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
