Lowest Distance

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or distance:

“Times go by turns, and chances change by course,
From foul to fair, from better hap to worse.

The sea of Fortune doth not ever flow,
She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
Her tides have equal times to come and go,
Her loom doth weave the fine and Coarsest web;”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

“Letters to absence can a voice impart,
And lend a tongue when distance gags the heart.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
