Fixed Spool Reels

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or spool:

“...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
boiling, over the west past all control
rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

“One sought not absolute truth. One sought only a spool on which to wind the thread of history without breaking it.”
