Famous quotes containing the word space:
“When my body leaves me
Im lonesome for it.
but body
goes away to I dont know where
and its lonesome to drift
above the space it
fills when its here.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Here were poor streets where faded gentility essayed with scanty space and shipwrecked means to make its last feeble stand, but tax-gatherer and creditor came there as elsewhere, and the poverty that yet faintly struggled was hardly less squalid and manifest than that which had long ago submitted and given up the game.”
—Charles Dickens (18121870)
“The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical,
But the good ones Ive seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.”
—Anonymous.
