Stretched

Famous quotes containing the word stretched:

    The world there was the flat world of the ancients; to the east, a cornfield that stretched to daybreak; to the west, a corral that reached to the sunset; between, the conquests of peace, dearer-bought than those of war.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Old men who never cheated, never doubted,
    Communicated monthly, sit and stare
    At the new suburb stretched beyond the run-way
    Where a young man lands hatless from the air.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    Thou, pallid there as chalk,
    Hast kept of wounds, O Mourner, all that sum
    That then from Appomattox stretched to Somme!
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
