Horizontal Ellipsis Character

Famous quotes containing the words horizontal and/or character:

    And yet out of eternity, a thread
    separates itself on the blackness,
    a horizontal thread
    that fumes a little with pallor upon the dark.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
