Famous quotes containing the words curve and/or length:
“The years-heired feature that can
In curve and voice and eye
Despise the human span
Of durance—that is I;
The eternal thing in man,
That heeds no call to die.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
