Gate Pulse

Famous quotes containing the words gate and/or pulse:

    What heaven-entreated heart is this
    Stands trembling at the gate of bliss;
    Holds fast the door, yet dares not venture
    Fairly to open it and enter?
    Whose definition is a doubt
    ‘Twixt life and death, ‘twixt in and out?
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    The motor idles.
    Over the immense upland
    the pulse of their blossoming
    thunders through us.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
