Bounding Surface

Famous quotes containing the words bounding and/or surface:

“I fell her finger light
Laid pausefully upon life’s headlong train;—
The foot less prompt to meet the morning dew,
The heart less bounding at emotion new,
And hope, once crush’d, less quick to spring again.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

“A novelist is, like all mortals, more fully at home on the surface of the present than in the ooze of the past.”
