Famous quotes containing the words efflux and/or time:
“But genius looks forward: the eyes of man are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates. Whatever talents may be, if man create not, the pure efflux of the Deity is not his;Mcinders and smoke there may be, but not yet flame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Where have you gone? The tide is over you,
The turn of midnight water’s over you,
As Time is over you, and mystery,
And memory, the flood that does not flow.”
—Kenneth Slessor (1901–1971)
