Flint Ridge

Famous quotes containing the words flint and/or ridge:

    O sovereign mistress of true melancholy,
    The poisonous damp of night disponge upon me,
    That life, a very rebel to my will,
    May hang no longer on me. Throw my heart
    Against the flint and hardness of my fault,
    Which, being dried with grief, will break to powder
    And finish all foul thoughts. O Antony,
    Nobler than my revolt is infamous,
    Forgive me in thine own particular,
    But let the world rank me in register
    A master-leaver and a fugitive.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The light passes
    from ridge to ridge,
    from flower to flower—
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
