Current Top Star

Famous quotes containing the words current, top and/or star:

    “But there, where I have garnered up my heart,
    Where either I must live or bear no life;
    The fountain from the which my current runs
    Or else dries up: to be discarded thence,
    Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
    To knot and gender in!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I can’t forget
    How she stood at the top of that long marble stair
    Amazed, and then with a sleepy pirouette
    Went dancing slowly down to the fountain-quieted square;”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “One year
    They sent a million here:
    Here men were drunk like water, burnt like wood.
    The fat of good
    And evil, the breast’s star of hope
    Were rendered into soap.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
