Event

Famous quotes containing the word event:

“An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but it’s both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Found a family, build a state,
The pledged event is still the same:
Matter in end will never abate
His ancient brutal claim.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
