Files Longer

Famous quotes containing the words files and/or longer:

“But some who this blithe mood present,
As on in lightsome files they fare,
Shall die experienced ere three days be spent—
Perish, enlightened by the vollied glare;
Or shame survive, and, like to adamant,
Thy after shock, Manassas, share.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Do I imagine he no longer trembles
When I come close to him?
He seems no longer to tremble.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
