Man Yesterday

Famous quotes containing the words man and/or yesterday:

    and a man climbing
    must scrape his knees, and bring
    the grip of his hands into play. The cut stone
    consoles his groping feet. Wings brush past him.
    The poem ascends.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Do old people always live in the past? What yesterday was firm and true, may not be so today.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
