Hour Lines

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or lines:

“For the discerning intellect of Man,
When wedded to this goodly universe
In love and holy passion, shall find these
A simple produce of the common day.
MI, long before the blissful hour arrives,
Would chant, in lonely peace, the spousal verse
Of this great consummation—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
