Hour Lines

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or lines:

    Now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep

    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    His more memorable passages are as naturally bright as gleams of sunshine in misty weather. Nature furnishes him not only with words, but with stereotyped lines and sentences from her mint.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
