Degree Black Sash

Famous quotes containing the words degree, black and/or sash:

    It is true that genius takes its rise out of the mountains of rectitude; that all beauty and power which men covet are somehow born out of that Alpine district; that any extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman involves a moral charm.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Rain falls for centuries
    Soaking the loose rocks in space
    Sweet rain, the fire’s out
    The black snag glistens in the rain
    & the last wisp of smoke floats up
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    Tree at my window, window tree,
    My sash is lowered when night comes on;
    But let there never be curtain drawn
    Between you and me.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
