Famous quotes containing the words rise and/or power:

    the petals creak and
    begin to rise.
    They rise and recurl
    to a bud’s form
    and clamp shut.
    I wait in the dark.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I had some short struggle in my mind whether I should resign my lover or my liberty, but this lasted not long. I found myself as free as air and could not bear the thought of putting myself in any man’s power for life only from a present capricious inclination.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
