Line Reaches

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or reaches:

    “A line will take us hours maybe;
    Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
    Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ““O father! O father! now, now, keep your hold,
    The Erl-King has seized me—his grasp is so cold!

    Sore trembled the father; he spurr’d thro’ the wild,
    Clasping close to his bosom his shuddering child;
    He reaches his dwelling in doubt and in dread,
    But, clasp’d to his bosom, the infant was dead.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1799–1832)
