Famous quotes containing the words soul and/or blade:
“And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“During a walk or in a book or in the middle of an embrace, suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything. The bare fact of existence paralyzes me... To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe—like an infant on its back in a cot. It is impossible to be interested in anything in particular while overhead the sun shines or underneath my feet grows a single blade of grass.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
