Famous quotes containing the words long and/or running:
“If it was not wise,
Tell me why the East
Seemingly has ceased
From its long stagnation
In mere meditation.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Do but consider this small dust, here running in the glass,
By atoms moved.
Could you believe that this the body was
Of one that loved?
And in his mistress’ flame playing like a fly,
Turned to cinders by her eye?
Yes, and in death as life unblest,
To have’t expressed,
Even ashes of lovers find no rest.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
