Famous quotes containing the words left, breast and/or suspended:
“Even by noon
of the very first day,
she’d etched the wall
with lines, counting
he left today,
he left today,
he left today.”

“If we could know
Which of us, darling, would be the first to go,
Who would be first to breast the swelling tide
And step alone upon the other side—
If we could know!”
—Julia Harris May (1833–1912)
“Death does determine life.... Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.”
—Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922–1975)
