Crocodile Bridge Gate

Famous quotes containing the words bridge and/or gate:

“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“Pale Death beats equally at the poor man’s gate and at the palaces of kings.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
