Famous quotes containing the word current:

    Through this broad street, restless ever,
    Ebbs and flows a human tide,
    Wave on wave a living river;
    Wealth and fashion side by side;
    Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    You are the current of the frozen stream,
    Shadow invisible, ambushed and vigilant flame.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
