Distance Covered

Famous quotes containing the words distance and/or covered:

“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“When my face turned toward his,
I averted it
and looked at my feet.
When my ears clamored
to hear his talk,
I stopped them.
When my cheeks broke out
in sweat and goosebumps,
I covered them with my hands.
But Friends,
when the seams of my bodice
burst in a hundred places,
what could I do?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
