Famous quotes containing the words girdle and/or history:

“There are no stars to-night
But those of memory.
Yet how much room for memory there is
In the loose girdle of soft rain.”

“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
