Catastrophe Planet

Famous quotes containing the words catastrophe and/or planet:

“It was not important that they survive.
What mattered was that they should bear
Some lineament or character,
Some affluence, if only half-perceived,
In the poverty of their words,
Of the planet of which they were part.”
