Extra Wide Gathers

Famous quotes containing the words extra, wide and/or gathers:

    But that beginning was wiped out in fear
    The day I swung suspended with the grapes,
    And was come after like Eurydice
    And brought down safely from the upper regions;
    And the life I live now’s an extra life
    I can waste as I please on whom I please.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Under the wide and starry sky,
    Dig the grave and let me lie.
    Glad did I live and gladly die,
    And I laid me down with a will.
    This be the verse you grave for me:
    Here he lies where he longed to be;
    Home is the sailor, home from sea.
    And the hunter home from the hill.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
