One

Famous quotes containing the word one:

    I feel ruefully sure, also, that one must be at least one sort of fool to rush in over ground so well trodden by the angels.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    Come, my pretender, my fritter,
    my bubbler, my chicken biddy!
    Oh succulent one,
    it is but one turn in the road
    and I would be a cannibal!
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    One by one objects are defined—
    It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

    But now the stark dignity of
    entrance—Still, the profound change
    has come upon them: rooted, they
    grip down and begin to awaken
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
