Famous quotes containing the word parting:
“And the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:
Backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

Stealing grace from all alive;
Heartily know,
When half-gods go,
The gods arrive.”

The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to deaths feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
