Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

“We have been here over forty years, a longer period than the children of Israel wandered through the wilderness, coming to this Capitol pleading for this recognition of the principle that the Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. Mr. Chairman, we ask that you report our resolution favorably if you can but unfavorably if you must; that you report one way or the other, so that the Senate may have the chance to consider it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

“Not yesterday I learned to know
The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“And you teetered on the edge of this
Calm street with its sidewalks, its traffic,
As though they are coming to get you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
