Implacable

Famous quotes containing the word implacable:

    We, who have already borne on the road to Paradise the lives of the best among us, want a difficult, erect, implacable Paradise; a Paradise where one can never rest and which has, beside the threshold of the gates, angels with swords.
    J.A. (José Antonio)

    The idiot greens the meadow with his eyes,
    The meadow creeps implacable and still;
    A dog barks, the hammock swings, he lies.
    One two three the cows bulge on the hill.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Maid
    of the luminous grey-eyes,
    Mistress
    of honey and marble implacable white thighs
    and Goddess,
    chaste daughter of Zeus.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
