Horizontal Lines

Famous quotes containing the words horizontal and/or lines:

    I am a sort of martyr, as you see,
    A horizontal monument to patience.
    The calves of waitresses parade about
    My helpless head upon this sodden floor.
    Well, I am down again, but not yet out.
    O sweet frustrations, I shall be back for more.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Who will in fairest book of Nature know
    How virtue may best lodged in beauty be,
    Let him but learn of love to read in thee,
    Stella, those fair lines which true goodness show.
    There shall he find all vices’ overthrow,
    Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty
    Of reason,
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
