Famous quotes containing the words notable, free and/or climbs:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”

“Shall the Spring dawn, and she still clad in smiles,
And with an unscathed brow,
Rest in the strong arms of her palm-crowned isles,
As fair and free as now?
We know not; in the temple of the Fates
God has inscribed her doom;
And, all untroubled in her faith, she waits
The triumph or the tomb.”
—Henry Timrod (1828–1867)
“But now, our boat climbs hesitates drops
climbs hesitates crawls back
climbs hesitates
O be swift
we have always known you wanted us.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
