Sliding Window

Famous quotes containing the words sliding and/or window:

“Here at the fountain’s sliding foot,
Or at some fruit-tree’s mossy root,
Casting the body’s vest aside,
My soul into the boughs does glide:
There, like a bird, it sits and sings,
Then whets and combs its silver wings,
And, till prepared for longer flights,
Waves in its plumes the various light.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“The mind too closes as it were. As the window might close of a dark empty room.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
