Runs

Famous quotes containing the word runs:

    A painter like Picasso, who runs through many periods and phases, ends up by saying all those things which are on the tip of the tongue of the age to say, and finally sterilizes the originality of his contemporaries and juniors.
    Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)

    Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.
    Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    It is complete within seconds, that monument.
    The blood runs underground yet brings forth a tower.
    A multitude should gather for such an edifice.
    For a miracle one stands in line and throws confetti.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
