Vertical Motion

Famous quotes containing the words vertical and/or motion:

    I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
    That only men incredulous of despair,
    Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
    Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
    Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
    In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
    Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
    Of the absolute Heavens.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    I dunno what my 23 infantile years in America signify. I left as soon as motion was autarchic—I mean my motion.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
