Westward Diary

Famous quotes containing the words westward and/or diary:

“We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“A diary is more or less the work of a man of clay whose hands are clumsy and in whose eyes there is no light.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
