Losing Trick Count

Famous quotes containing the words losing, trick and/or count:

    Let a man learn to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting; let him learn to bear the disappearance of things he was wont to reverence; without losing his reverence; let him learn that he is here, not to work, but to be worked upon; and that, though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal Cause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I have come back
    but disorder is not what it was.
    I have lost the trick of it!
    The innocence of it!
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    But for us the road
    unfurls itself, we count the
    words in our pockets, we wonder
    how it will be without them, we don’t
    stop walking, we know
    there is far to go....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
