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.
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)

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

With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;”
