Neck Length

Famous quotes containing the words neck and/or length:

    If with light head erect I sing,
    Though all the muses lend their force,
    From my poor love of anything,
    The verse is weak and shallow as its source.

    But if with bended neck I grope,
    Listening behind me for my wit,
    With faith superior to hope,
    More anxious to keep back than forward it,
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Oft have I mused, but now at length I find,
    Why those that die, men say they do depart.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
