Ash Content

Famous quotes containing the words ash and/or content:

    “Thoth, Hermes, the stylus,
    the palette, the pen, the quill endure,
    though our books are a floor
    of smouldering ash under our feet.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Now they express
    All that’s content to wear a worn-out coat,
    All actions done in patient hopelessness,
    All that ignores the silences of death,
    Thinking no further than the hand can hold,
    All that grows old,
    Yet works on uselessly with shortened breath.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
