Famous quotes containing the words covered and/or bridge:
“While the body’s life, deep as a covered well,
Instinctive as the wind, busy as May,
Burns out a secret passageway to hell.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
