Minute Mile

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or mile:

    “I did the dragon’s will until you came
    Because I had fancied love a casual
    Improvisation, or a settled game
    That followed if I let the kerchief fall:
    Those deeds were best that gave the minute wings
    And heavenly music if they gave it wit.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “smile
    As you find a rhythm
    Working you, slow mile by mile,
    Into your proper haunt
    Somewhere, well out, beyond . . .”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
