Famous quotes containing the words slit and/or trench:
“For, brother, know that this is art, and you
With a cold incautious sorrow stricken dumb,
Have your own vanishing slit of light let through,
Passionate as winter, where only a few may come:
Not idiots in the street find out the lees
In the last drink of dying Socrates.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Lord, what a change within us one short hour
Spent in Thy presence will avail to make!”
—Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
