Famous quotes containing the words length and/or scales:
“At length to hospital
This man was limited,
Where screens leant on the wall
And idle headphones hung.
Since he would soon be dead
They let his wife come along
And pour out tea, each day.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“In what camera do you taste
Poison, in what darkness set
Glittering scales and point
The tipping tongue?”
