Coupling Length

Famous quotes containing the words coupling and/or length:

    “The time of the seasons and the constellations
    The time of milking and the time of harvest
    The time of the coupling of man and woman
    And that of beasts. Feet rising and falling.
    Eating and drinking. Dung and death.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “At length to hospital
    This man was limited,
    Where screens leant on the wall
    And idle headphones hung.
    Since he would soon be dead
    They let his wife come along
    And pour out tea, each day.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
