Long Distance

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

“Opinion is not worth a rush;
In this altar-piece the knight,
Who grips his long spear so to push
That dragon through the fading light,
Loved the lady; and it’s plain
The half-dead dragon was her thought....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The distance that the dead have gone
Does not at first appear—
Their coming back seems possible
For many an ardent year.”
