Long Distance Boomerangs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

    “It is the human season on this sterile air
    Do words outcarry breath the sound goes on and on.
    I hear a dead man’s cry from autumn long since gone.

    I cry to you beyond upon his bitter air.”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “Let me approach at least, and touch thy hand.
    [Samson:] Not for thy life, lest fierce remembrance wake
    My sudden rage to tear thee joint by joint.
    At distance I forgive thee, go with that;
    Bewail thy falsehood, and the pious works
    It hath brought forth to make thee memorable
    Among illustrious women, faithful wives:
    Cherish thy hast’n’d widowhood with the gold
    Of Matrimonial treason: so farewel.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
