Miles

Famous quotes containing the word miles:

    Natural law is only whatever happens in your lifetime within fifty miles of you.
    —“Marcy.” As quoted in The Girl I Left Behind, Introduction, by Jane O’Reilly (1980)

    For these are moments only, moments of insight,
    And there are reaches to be attained,
    A last level of anxiety that melts
    In becoming, like miles under the pilgrim’s feet.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I dreamed of an out-thrust arm of land
    Where gulls blew over a wave
    That fell along miles of sand....
