Famous quotes containing the words parallel and/or time:
“If from the earth we came, it was an earth
That bore us as a part of all the things
It breeds and that was lewder than it is.
Our nature is her nature. Hence it comes,
Since by our nature we grow old, earth grows
The same. We parallel the mother’s death.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“To put one brick upon another,
Add a third, and then a fourth,
Leaves no time to wonder whether
What you do has any worth.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
