Famous quotes containing the word gliding:

    “I stand on a bridge of one span
    and see this calm act, this gathering up
    of life, of spring water
    and the Muse gliding ...”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “One might call habit a moral friction: something that prevents the mind from gliding over things but connects it with them and makes it hard for it to free itself from them.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
    Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
    In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
    Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
