Famous quotes containing the words driscoll and/or bridge:
“Hold fast your dreams!
Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where dreams may go,”
—Louise Driscoll (b. 1875)
“It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
