Famous quotes containing the words base and/or current:
“The base emotions Plato banned
have left a radio-active and not radiant land.”
—Libby Houston (b. 1941)
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
