Final Unstressed Syllables

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or syllables:

    Parents can only give [children] good advice or put them on their right paths, but the final forming of a person lies in their own hands.

    This is the poem of the air,
    Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
    This is the secret of despair,
    Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
    Now whispered and revealed
    To wood and field.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
