Famous quotes containing the words force and/or command:
“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but its both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Under bare Ben Bulbens head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
