Singular Points

Famous quotes containing the words singular and/or points:

“The singular passion
Abides its object and consumes desire
In the circling shadow of its appetite.”

“Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
Anticipation forward points the view:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
