Atomic Clock

Famous quotes containing the words atomic and/or clock:

    “Take adultery or theft.
    Merely sins.
    It is evil who dines on the soul,
    stretching out its long bone tongue.
    It is evil who tweezers my heart,
    picking out its atomic worms.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “What brought them there so far from their home,
    Cuchulain that fought night long with the foam,
    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    Niamh that rode on it; lad and lass
    That sat so still and played at the chess?
    What but heroic wantonness?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
