Slow Wave Sleep

Famous quotes containing the words slow, wave and/or sleep:

“the slow passion
to that deliberate progress.”

“And his wish is intimacy,
Intimater intimacy,
And a stricter privacy;
The impossible shall yet be done,
And, being two, shall still be one.
As the wave breaks to foam on shelves,
Then runs into a wave again,
So lovers melt their sundered selves,
Yet melted would be twain.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“smashing the windows of sleep and dream
smashing the windows of history
a whiteness scattering
in hailstones
each a mirror
for man’s eyes.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
