Moving Charged

Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or charged:

    O what venerable and reverend creatures did the aged seem! Immortal Cherubims! And young men glittering and sparkling Angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty! Boys and girls tumbling in the street, and playing, were moving jewels. I knew not that they were born or should die; but all things abided eternally as they were in their proper places.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

    Luna presence,
    foredoomed, already dying,
    it charged the room
    with plangency

    older than human
    cries,
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
