Angle Turn

Famous quotes containing the words angle and/or turn:

    “So much symmetry!
    Like the pale angle of time
    And eternity.
    The great shape labored and fell.”
    —N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)

    “But at my back I always hear
    Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
    And yonder all before us lie
    Deserts of vast eternity.
    Thy beauty shall no more be found,
    Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
    My echoing song: then worms shall try
    That long preserved virginity:
    And your quaint honor turn to dust,
    And into ashes all my lust:
    The grave’s a fine and private place,
    But none, I think, do there embrace.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
