Division Returned

Famous quotes containing the words division and/or returned:

    Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
    Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
    List to the heavy part the music bears,
    “Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
    Droop herbs and flowers;
    Fall grief in showers;
    “Our beauties are not ours”:
    Oh, I could still,
    Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
    Drop, drop, drop, drop,
    Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    After that it came to my door. Now it lives here.
    And of course: it is a soft sound, soft as a seal’s ear,
    that was caught between a shape and a shape and then returned to me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
