Famous quotes containing the words long and/or length:
“Thus Satan talking to his neerest Mate
With Head up-lift above the wave, and Eyes
That sparkling blazd, his other Parts besides
Prone on the Flood, extended long and large
Lay floating many a rood, in bulk as huge
As whom the Fables name of monstrous size,
Titanian, or Earth-born, that warrd on Jove,
Briarios or Typhon, whom the Den
By ancient Tarsus held, or that Sea-beast
Leviathan,”
—John Milton (16081674)
“At length upon the lone Chorasmian shore
He paused, a wide and melancholy waste
Of putrid marshes.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
