Hour Meter

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or meter:

    Death hath
    had a thousand doors to let out life,
    I shall find one ... From a loath’d life,
    I’ll not an hour outlive.
    Philip Massinger (1583–1640)

    His meter was bitter, and ironic and spectacular and inviting: so was life. There wasn’t much other life during those times than to what his pen paid the tribute of poetic tragic glamour and offered the reconciliation of the familiarities of tragedy.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)
