Famous quotes containing the words western and/or clock:
“When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The source of poetry that
seeing the clock stopped, says,
The clock has stopped
that ticked yesterday so well?”
