Arbitrarily Close

Famous quotes containing the words arbitrarily and/or close:

    “Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I have led her home, my love, my only friend.
    There is none like her, none.
    And never yet so warmly ran my blood
    And sweetly, on and on
    Calming itself to the long-wished-for end,
    Full to the banks, close on the promised good.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
