Loss

Famous quotes containing the word loss:

how the world contradicts you,
how the horizon implies that beyond it
the water is not empty
but full of ships
all docking at another island.”

and no greater loss than to forget it.”

Must be won without pride,
With a nod from nature,
With a lack of strain,
And a loss of stature.”
