Mark Set Cur

Famous quotes containing the words mark, set and/or cur:

    So unrecorded did it slip away,
    So blind was I to see and to foresee,
    So dull to mark the budding of my tree
    That would not blossom yet for many a May.
    If only I could recollect it, such
    A day of days! I let it come and go
    As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
    It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
    If only now I could recall that touch,
    First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know!
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    The political horizon looks dark and lowering; but the people, under Providence, will set all right.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    She had been getting ready for her great journey to the horizons in search of people; it was important to all the world that she should find them and they find her, but she had been whipped like a cur dog, and run off down a back road after things.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
