Bits Long

Famous quotes containing the words bits and/or long:

“At death, you break up: the bits that were you
Start speeding away from each other for ever
With no one to see.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“I had gone so long without loving
I hardly knew what I was thinking.

Where I hid my face, your touch, quick, merciful
Blindfolded me. A god breathed from my lips.
If that was illusion, I wanted it to last long;”
—James Merrill (b. 1926)
