Distance Covered

Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or covered:

“Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
From this distance in time,
it seems the color
of iris, rotting and turning purpler,

but it was only
the usual gray rock”

“While the body’s life, deep as a covered well,
Instinctive as the wind, busy as May,
Burns out a secret passageway to hell.”
