Famous quotes containing the words approach and/or spans:
“Genuine polemics approach a book as lovingly as a cannibal spices a baby.”

“This is my playes last scene, here heavens appoint
My pilgrimages last mile; and my race
Idly, yet quickly runne, hath this last pace,
My spans last inch, my minutes last point,
And gluttonous death, will instantly unjoynt
My body, and soule, and I shall sleepe a space,”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
