Stand

Famous quotes containing the word stand:

“That which is given to see
At any moment is the residue, shadowed
In gold or emerging into the clear bluish haze
Of uncertainty. We come back to ourselves
Through the rubbish of cloud and tree-spattered pavement.
These days stand like vapor under the trees.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“I stand by your portal,
a white pillar,
luminous.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Don’t just stand there, idiot. Call a doctor, and then help me find a nose.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
