Famous quotes containing the words weekday, rush and/or hour:

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire

    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”

    “Is this then a touch? quivering me to a new identity,
    Flames and ether making a rush for my veins,
    Treacherous tip of me reaching and crowding to help them,
    My flesh and blood playing out lightning to strike what is hardly
    different from myself,
    On all sides prurient provokers stiffening my limbs,”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Remembered, if outlived,

    letting go—”
