Meter Long

Famous quotes containing the words meter and/or long:

    “His meter was bitter, and ironic and spectacular and inviting: so was life. There wasn’t much other life during those times than to what his pen paid the tribute of poetic tragic glamour and offered the reconciliation of the familiarities of tragedy.”
    —Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    “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)
