Famous quotes containing the words long and/or slit:
“A cold coming we had of it,
Just the worst time of the year
For a journey, and such a long journey:”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“For, brother, know that this is art, and you
With a cold incautious sorrow stricken dumb,
Have your own vanishing slit of light let through,
Passionate as winter, where only a few may come:
Not idiots in the street find out the lees
In the last drink of dying Socrates.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
