Fourth Turning

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or turning:

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “Really, friend, I can’t let you. You may need them.”
    “Not till I shrink, when they’ll be out of style.”
    “But really I——I have so many collars.”
    “I don’t know who I rather would have have them.
    They’re only turning yellow where they are.
    But you’re the doctor, as the saying is.
    I’ll put the light out. Don’t you wait for me....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
