Leap

Famous quotes containing the word leap:

    Dance with a girl three times, and if you like the light of her eye and the tone of voice with which she, breathless, answers your little questions about horseflesh and music—about affairs masculine and feminine,—then take the leap in the dark.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    Oh, give me again the rover’s life—the joy, the thrill, the whirl! Let me feel thee again, old sea! let me leap into thy saddle once more. I am sick of these terra firma toils and cares; sick of the dust and reek of towns.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Iambics march from short to long;—
    With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
