Infinite Descent

Famous quotes containing the words infinite and/or descent:

“It has no future but itself—

Its past—enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.”

““There is Hawthorne, with genius so shrinking and rare
That you hardly at first see the strength that is there;
A frame so robust, with a nature so sweet,
So earnest, so graceful, so lithe and so fleet,
Is worth a descent from Olympus to meet;”
