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)

    This coast crying out for tragedy like all beautiful places,
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    Let us guard against saying that death is opposed to life. The living is merely a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
