Final Climb

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or climb:

    Child with continuing cling issued his No in final fire,
    Kissed back the colored maid,
    Not wise enough to freeze or be afraid.
    Conscious of kindness, easy creature bond.
    Love had been handy and rapid to respond.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    We hug the earth,—how rarely we mount! Methinks we might elevate ourselves a little more. We might climb a tree, at least.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
