Union Sportive Robert

Famous quotes containing the words union, sportive and/or robert:

    One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape ... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
    Marilyn French (b. 1929)

    To sunny waters some
    By fatal instinct fly; where on the pool
    They sportive wheel, or, sailing down the stream,
    Are snatched immediate by the quick-eyed trout
    Or darting salmon.
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    But I, being man, can kiss
    And bed-spread-eagle too;
    All flesh shall come to this,
    Being less than angel is,
    Yet higher far in bliss
    As it entwines with you.
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
