Famous quotes containing the words cross and/or platform:
“Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
Were told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (18691935)
“The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
