Famous quotes containing the words inverted and/or question:

“Can they never tell
What is dragging them back, and how it will end? Not at night?
Not when the strangers come? Never, throughout
The whole hideous inverted childhood? Well,
We shall find out.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Like to the Artick needle, that doth guide
The wand’ring shade by his magnetick pow’r,
And leaves his silken Gnomon to decide
The question of the controverted houre;”
—Francis Quarles (1592–1644)
