Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or tate:
“I mount the steps and ring the bell, turning
Wearily, as one would turn to nod good-bye to Rochefoucauld,
If the street were time and he at the end of the street,
And I say, “Cousin Harriet, here is the Boston Evening Transcript.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“And so the needle pricked her fingers;
She fidgeted but didn’t go;
A faint forgetfulness of reasons
Kept her with him. Time is slow.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
