Short Pulse

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or pulse:

“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

“My pulse as yours doth temperately keep time,
And makes as healthful music. It is not madness
That I have uttered.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
