Fast

Famous quotes containing the word fast:

“Across the lonely beach we flit,
One little sandpiper and I;
And fast I gather, bit by bit,
The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
The wild waves reach their hands for it,
The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
As up and down the beach we flit—
One little sandpiper and I.”
—Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

“Unhappie Verse, the witnesse of my unhappie state,
Make thy selfe fluttring wings of thy fast flying
Thought,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

“There is an animal inside me,
clutching fast to my heart,
a huge crab.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
