Constant Overhead

Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or overhead:

“I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“During a walk or in a book or in the middle of an embrace, suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything. The bare fact of existence paralyzes me... To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe—like an infant on its back in a cot. It is impossible to be interested in anything in particular while overhead the sun shines or underneath my feet grows a single blade of grass.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
