Final Unstressed Syllables

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or syllables:

    “Remember the waterfront shack with the sign FRESH FISH SOLD HERE. Of course it’s fresh, we’re on the ocean. Of course it’s for sale, we’re not giving it away. Of course it’s here, otherwise the sign would be someplace else. The final sign: FISH.”
    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    “This is the poem of the air,
    Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
    This is the secret of despair,
    Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
    Now whispered and revealed
    To wood and field.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
