Famous quotes containing the words flash and/or portal:
“We cannot know how much we learn
From those who never will return,
Until a flash of unforeseen
Remembrance falls on what has been.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
Against whose portal she hath thrown,
In childhood, many an idle stone—
Some tomb from out whose sounding door
She ne’er shall force an echo more,
Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
It was the dead who groaned within.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
