Empty Barge

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or barge:

Exceeding music must take the place
Of empty heaven and its hymns....”

On our dreams as on a barge made of ice,
Shot through with questions and fissures of starlight
That keep us awake, thinking about the dreams
As they are happening. Some occurrence. You said it.”
