Famous quotes containing the words coulter and/or wrote:
“For in the word death
There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
Breaks. The harrow of death
Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Above all, he possessed a hearty good-will to all men, and never wrote a cross or even careless word.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
