Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or hold:
“Books are for the scholar’s idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men’s transcripts of their readings.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You hold me up to the light in a way
I should never have expected, or suspected, perhaps
Because you always tell me I am you,
And right. The great spruces loom.
I am yours to die with, to desire.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
