Minutes Silence

Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or silence:

    “As groceries in a pantry gleam and smile
    Because they are important weights
    Bought with the metal minutes of your pay,
    So do these hours stand in solid rows,
    The dowry for a use in common life.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “There is a silence where hath been no sound,
    There is a silence where no sound may be,
    In the cold grave—under the deep, deep sea,
    Or in wide desert where no life is found,”
    —Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
