Famous quotes containing the words transfer, coast and/or guard:

    “I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “On the Coast of Coromandel
    Where the early pumpkins blow,
    In the middle of the woods
    Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
    Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
    One old jug without a handle,—
    These were all his worldly goods:
    In the middle of the woods,”
    —Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    “I loved. And a man will guard when he loves.
    Their white-gowned democracy was my fair lady.
    With her knife lying cold, straight, in the softness of her sweet-flowing sleeve.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
