Swift

Famous quotes containing the word swift:

“With a whirl of thought oppressed
I sink from reverie to rest.
An horrid vision seized my head,
I saw the graves give up their dead.”

Above the clouds, outside the ring:
For sorrow finds a swift release in song
And pride its poise.”

Neurons flash images of a world
Undead and deathless, burgeoning again.
I think that Spring will come this way, unfurled.”
