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)
