Die Stem

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or stem:

“We lay long in the immense tide
Of shade and shadowy desire
And saw the dusk assail the wall,
The black surge, mounting, crash the stone!
Companion of this lust, we fall,
I said lest we should die alone.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“The lotus’ stem is as long as the depth of water,
So men’s height is just as great as their inner strength.”
