Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    The distance that the dead have gone
    Does not at first appear—
    Their coming back seems possible
    For many an ardent year.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    I don’t know what the country’s coming to. Everyone trying to be better than their betters—mink coats and no manners. No wonder Germany’s arming.
    Arthur Wimperis (1874–1953)

    How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
