Moment Resisting

Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or resisting:

    “That which is given to see
    At any moment is the residue, shadowed
    In gold or emerging into the clear bluish haze
    Of uncertainty. We come back to ourselves
    Through the rubbish of cloud and tree-spattered pavement.
    These days stand like vapor under the trees.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “or the warm soft side
    Of the resigning yet resisting bride.
    The kiss of virgins first-fruits of the bed;
    Soft speech, smooth touch, the lips, the maidenhead;
    These and a thousand sweets could never be
    So near or dear as thou wast once to me.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
