Straight Path

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or path:

    “Expecting me to grovel,
    she carefully covers both feet
    with the hem of her skirt.
    She pretends to hide
    a coming smile
    and won’t look straight at me.
    When I talk to her,
    she chats with her friend
    in cross tones.
    Even this slim girl’s rising anger
    delights me,
    let alone her deep love.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “Therefore our legends always come around to seeming legendary,
    A path decorated with our comings and goings. Or so I’ve been told.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
