Open Straight

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or straight:

“GOETHE, raised o’er joy and strife,
Drew the firm lines of Fate and Life,
And brought Olympian wisdom down
To court and mar, to gown and town,
Stooping, his finger wrote in clay
The open secret of to-day.”

with straight tool-edge:
you are chiselled like rocks
that are eaten into by the sea.”
