Famous quotes containing the words long and/or tom:

    I had gone so long without loving
    I hardly knew what I was thinking.

    Where I hid my face, your touch, quick, merciful
    Blindfolded me. A god breathed from my lips.
    If that was illusion, I wanted it to last long;
    James Merrill (b. 1926)

    The palsy plagues my pulses
    —Unknown. Tom o’ Bedlam’s Song (l. 37)
