Famous quotes containing the words line and/or width:
“Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
And spaced by many years, each line an act
Through which few labor, which no men retract.
This passion is the scholar’s heritage,”
—Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
“Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
