Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or buddha:

    “And all my days are trances,
    And all my nightly dreams
    Are where thy dark eye glances,
    And where thy footstep gleams—
    In what ethereal dances,
    By what eternal streams.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
    and overrules the oncoming roar
    of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
    it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
