Leap

Famous quotes containing the word leap:

    Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, then a leap taken.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The stars move still, time runs, the clock will strike,
    The devil will come, and Faustus must be damned.
    O I’ll leap up to my God: who pulls me down?
    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)

    I—love’s skein upon the ground,
    My body in the tomb—
    Shall leap into the light lost
    In my mother’s womb.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
