Barker Ten Mile

Famous quotes containing the words barker, ten and/or mile:

    The love that kisses with a homicide
    In robes of red generation resurrects.
    —George Barker (b. 1913)

    Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
    Which ten times faster glides than the sun’s beams,
    Driving back shadows over low’ring hills.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
