Ninth Gate

Famous quotes containing the words ninth and/or gate:

    So in majestic cadence rise and fall
    The mighty undulations of thy song,
    O sightless bard, England’s Monides!
    And ever and anon, high over all
    Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong,
    Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    A young child is no longer simply a child; he or she is a preschooler, poised at the starting gate in the race of life.
