Long Distance Boomerangs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

    “My long two-pointed ladder’s sticking through a tree
    Toward heaven still,
    And there’s a barrel that I didn’t fill
    Beside it, and there may be two or three
    Apples I didn’t pick upon some bough.
    But I am done with apple-picking now.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Remember? We sat on a slab of rock.
    From this distance in time,
    it seems the color
    of iris, rotting and turning purpler,

    but it was only
    the usual gray rock”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
