One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

“One by one they appear in
the darkness: a few friends, and
a few with historical
names. How late they start to shine!
but before they fade they stand
perfectly embodied,”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

“O would, beloved, that you lay
Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
While lights were paling one by one.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“However others calculate the cost,
To us the final aggregate is one,
One with a name, one transferred to the blest;
And though another stoops and takes the gun,
We cannot add the second to the first.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
