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 (15641616)
“I cant 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 breasts star of hope
Were rendered into soap.”
