Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or singular:

    “Two clergymen disputing whether ordination would be valid without the imposition of both hands, the more formal one said, “Do you think the Holy Dove could fly down with only one wing?””

    “mouth to mouth, the covers
    pulled over our shoulders
    we drowse as horses drowse afield,
    in accord; though the fall cold
    surrounds our warm bed, and though
    by day we are singular and often lonely.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
