Rocking

Famous quotes containing the word rocking:

“Now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Until, accustomed to disappointments, you can let yourself rule and be ruled by these strings or emanations that connect everything together, you haven’t fully exorcised the demon of doubt that sets you in motion like a rocking horse that cannot stop rocking.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Another time I go outside
Into the world. It rocks on and on.
It was rocking before I saw it
And is presumably doing so still.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
