Closing Thought

Famous quotes containing the words closing and/or thought:

    And if the stage-dark head rehearse
    The fifth act of the closing night,
    Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
    And throw the tough cortex away....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    He thought of certain human hearts, their climb
    Through violence into exquisite disciplines
    Of which, as it now appeared, they all expired.
    James Merrill (b. 1926)
