Narrow

Famous quotes containing the word narrow:

    His virtues walked their narrow round,
    Nor made a pause, nor left a void;
    And sure the Eternal Master found
    The single talent well employed.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    because your clamorous blood
    Beats an impermanent rest
    You think the dead arise
    Westward and fabulous:
    The dead are those whose lies
    Were doors to a narrow house.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Who said, ‘All Time’s delight
    Hath she for narrow bed;
    Life’s troubled bubble broken’?—
    That’s what I said.
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
