Chopped Strand

Famous quotes containing the words chopped and/or strand:

    History is not a book, arbitrarily divided into chapters, or a drama chopped into separate acts: it has flowed forward. Rome is a continuity, called “eternal.” What has accumulated in this place acts on everyone, day and night, like an extra climate.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    We all have reasons
    for moving.
    I move
    to keep things whole.
    —Mark Strand (b. 1934)
