Chain Dance

Famous quotes containing the words chain and/or dance:

    The years seemed to stretch before her like the land: spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring; always the same patient fields, the patient little trees, the patient lives; always the same yearning; the same pulling at the chain—until the instinct to live had torn itself and bled and weakened for the last time, until the chain secured a dead woman, who might cautiously be released.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    Is that dance slowing in the mind of man
    That made him think the universe could hum?
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
