Edge Figures

Famous quotes containing the words edge and/or figures:

“So God stepped over to the edge of the world
And He spat out the seven seas;
He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed;
He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled;
And the waters above the earth came down,
The cooling waters came down.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)

“She, while her lover pants upon her breast,
Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
