Long Distance Boomerangs

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or distance:

    “Sweet ladies, long may ye bloom, and toughly I hope ye may thole,
    But was she not lucky? In flowers and lace and mourning,
    In love and great honor we bade God rest her soul
    After six little spaces of chill, and six of burning.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “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)
