Mounting Mark

Famous quotes containing the words mounting and/or mark:

    “All neighbourly content and easy talk are gone,
    But there’s no good complaining, for money’s rant is on,
    He that’s mounting up must on his neighbour mount
    And we and all the Muses are things of no account.
    They have schooling of their own but I pass their schooling by,
    What can they know that we know that know the time to die?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Only a still place
    and perhaps some outer horror
    some hideousness to stamp beauty,
    a mark no changing it now
    on our hearts.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
