Clock Line

Famous quotes containing the words clock and/or line:

“What brought them there so far from their home,
Cuchulain that fought night long with the foam,
What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
Niamh that rode on it; lad and lass
That sat so still and played at the chess?
What but heroic wantonness?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
