Famous quotes containing the word passage:

    “Man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest
    And passage through these looms
    God ordered motion, but ordained no rest.”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “For I choose that my remembrances of him should be pleasing, affecting, religious. I will love him as a glorified friend, after the free way of friendship, and not pay him a stiff sign of respect, as men do to those whom they fear. A passage read from his discourses, a moving provocation to works like his, any act or meeting which tends to awaken a pure thought, a flow of love, an original design of virtue, I call a worthy, a true commemoration.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “So I was glad of the fog’s
    Taking me to you
    Undetermined summer thing eaten
    Of grief and passage where you stay.
    The wheel is ready to turn again.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
