Lingers

Famous quotes containing the word lingers:

“When Love’s delirium haunts the glowing mind,
Limping Decorum lingers far behind.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Whether elected or appointed
He considers himself the Lord’s annointed,
And indeed the ointment lingers on him
So thick you can’t get your fingers on him.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

“But gathering as we stray, a sense
Of Life, so lovely and intense,
It lingers when we wander hence,

That those who follow feel behind
Their backs, when all before is blind,
Our joy, a rampart to the mind.”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)
