Code Sets

Famous quotes containing the words code and/or sets:

    Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    bars of that strange speech
    In which each sound sets out to seek each other,
    Murders its own father, marries its own mother,
    And ends as one grand transcendental vowel.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
