Slip Road

Famous quotes containing the words slip and/or road:

    Half of my life is gone, and I have let
    The years slip from me and have not fulfilled
    The aspiration of my youth, to build
    Some tower of song with lofty parapet.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    What blazed ahead of you? A faked road block?
    The red lamp swung, the sudden brakes and stalling
    Engine, voices, heads hooded and the cold-nosed gun?
    Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
