Parting

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)

    Though her parting dims the day,
    Stealing grace from all alive;
    Heartily know,
    When half-gods go,
    The gods arrive.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Neither by night’s ancient fear,
    The parting of hat from hair,
    Pursed lips at the receiver,
    Shall I fall to death’s feather.
    By these I would not care to die,
    Half convention and half lie.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
