Long Focal Length

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or length:

    Too long we prayed
    God in the thunder,
    wonderful though he be
    and our father;
    too long, too long in the rain,
    cowering lest he strike again.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Punishment followed on a grand scale. For ten days, an unconscionable length of time, my father blessed the palms of his child’s outstretched, four-year-old hands with a sharp switch. Seven strokes a day on each hand; that makes one hundred forty strokes and then some. This put an end to the child’s innocence.
    Christoph Meckel (20th century)
