Famous quotes containing the words small and/or lineage:

He was a knotted hiss.
He was an insane hash
Of rebellious small strengths”

“I declare
Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
