Unused Edges

Famous quotes containing the words unused and/or edges:

    In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
    On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor’d near the shore,
    An old, dismasted, gray and batter’d ship, disabled, done,
    After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul’d up at last and
    hawser’d tight,
    Lies rusting, mouldering.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    People stay
    Next to the edges of fields, hoping that out of nothing
    Something will come, and it does, but what?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
