Final Long Vowels

Famous quotes containing the words final, long and/or vowels:

    Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
    Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
    Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
    Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,

    Who trusted God was love indeed
    And love Creation’s final law—
    Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
    With ravine, shrieked against his creed—
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.
    Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    Playing “bop” is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.
    Duke Ellington (1899–1974)
