Famous quotes containing the words length and/or words:
“The light that was shadowed then
Was seen to be our lives,
Everything about us that love might wish to examine,
Then put away for a certain length of time, until
The whole is to be reviewed, and we turned
Toward each other, to each other.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Canst thou copy in verse one chime
Of the wood-bells peal and cry,
Write in a book the mornings prime,
Or match with words the tender sky?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
