Spreads

Famous quotes containing the word spreads:

“Dandyism is the last flicker of heroism in decadent ages.... Dandyism is a setting sun; like the declining star, it is magnificent, without heat and full of melancholy. But alas! the rising tide of democracy, which spreads everywhere and reduces everything to the same level, is daily carrying away these last champions of human pride, and submerging, in the waters of oblivion, the last traces of these remarkable myrmidons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

“Imagination at wit’s end spreads its sad wings.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“I see in you the estuary that enlarges and spreads itself grandly as it
pours in the great sea.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
