Decaying

Famous quotes containing the word decaying:

    The Church must be forever building, for it is forever decaying within and attacked from without....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    To me this decaying landscape has its uses:
    To make me remember, who am always inclined to forget,
    That there is always a changing at the root,
    And a real world in which time really passes.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Less than five hundred souls inhabit the three quaint streets and the few narrow by-lanes and scattered farmsteads that constitute this small, decaying watering-place which may, indeed, be called a “backwater of life” without disrespect to its natives who possess, to this day, a salty individuality of their own.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
