Sentence Imposed

Famous quotes containing the words sentence and/or imposed:

    She had exactly the German way: whatever was in her mind to be delivered, whether a mere remark, or a sermon, or a cyclopedia, or the history of a war, she would get it into a single sentence or die. Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of the Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    ‘Twas Age imposed on poems
    Their gather-roses burden
    To warn against the danger
    That overtakes lovers
    From being overflooded
    With happiness should have it
    And yet not know they have it.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
