Depth Distance

Famous quotes containing the words depth and/or distance:

    From the depth of the dreamydecline of the dawn through a notable
    nimbus of nebulous noonshine,
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    Let me approach at least, and touch thy hand.
    [Samson:] Not for thy life, lest fierce remembrance wake
    My sudden rage to tear thee joint by joint.
    At distance I forgive thee, go with that;
    Bewail thy falsehood, and the pious works
    It hath brought forth to make thee memorable
    Among illustrious women, faithful wives:
    Cherish thy hast’n’d widowhood with the gold
    Of Matrimonial treason: so farewel.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
