Code Written

Famous quotes containing the words code and/or written:

    Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Now that I have written many words,
    and let out so many loves, for so many,
    and been altogether what I always was
    a woman of excess, of zeal and greed,
    I find the effort useless.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
