Famous quotes containing the words crack and/or grow:
“You crash over the trees,
you crack the live branch.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what’s really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
