Close Front

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or front:

““O father! O father! now, now, keep your hold,
The Erl-King has seized me—his grasp is so cold!

Sore trembled the father; he spurr’d thro’ the wild,
Clasping close to his bosom his shuddering child;
He reaches his dwelling in doubt and in dread,
But, clasp’d to his bosom, the infant was dead.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1799–1832)

“We run heedlessly into the abyss after putting something in front of us to stop us seeing it.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
