Effort

Famous quotes containing the word effort:

Are only “incidents”
In the effort to keep day and night together.”

“And in counterpoint, from other windows,
the effort to be merry—ay, maracas!
Msibilant, intricate—the voices wailing pleasure,
arriving perhaps at joy, late, after sets
have been switched off, and silences
are dark windows?”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
