Famous quotes containing the words oldest and/or space:

    “No ray is dimmed, no atom worn,
    My oldest force is good as new,
    And the fresh rose on yonder thorn
    Gives back the bending heavens in dew.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When my body leaves me
    I’m lonesome for it.
    but body
    goes away to I don’t know where
    and it’s lonesome to drift
    above the space it
    fills when it’s here.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
