Famous quotes containing the words boiling, point and/or diagram:
“Unmeasured power, incredible passion, enormous craft: no thought

The fountains of the boiling stars, the flowers on the foreland, the
ever-returning roses of dawn.”
—Robinson Jeffers (18871962)

“Gods fire upon the wane,
A diagram hung there instead,
More women born than men.”
