Months Probation

Famous quotes containing the words months and/or probation:

    Sixteen. Her breasts
    round, round, and
    dark-nippled
    who now these two months long
    is bones and tatters of flesh in earth.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    So that the life of a writer, whatever he might fancy to the contrary, was not so much a state of composition, as a state of warfare; and his probation in it, precisely that of any other man militant upon earth,—both depending alike, not half so much upon the degrees of his WIT—as his RESISTANCE.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
