Vertical World Climbing

Famous quotes containing the words vertical, world and/or climbing:

    “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)

    “The world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... climbing the primordial climb,
    a dream within a dream,
    then sitting here
    holding a basket of fire.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
