Famous quotes containing the words recurrent and/or nerve:

    “My sleep is made cold
    By a recurrent dream....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “our nerve filaments twitch with its presence
    day and night,
    nothing we say has not the husky phlegm of it in the saying,
    nothing we do has the quickness, the sureness,
    the deep intelligence living at peace would have.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
