Leap

Famous quotes containing the word leap:

    “The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
    The devil will come, and Faustus must be damned.

    See, see, where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament.
    One drop would save my soul, half a drop, ah my Christ.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Iambics march from short to long;—
    With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;”
