Point Count

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or count:

    How oft when men are at the point of death
    Have they been merry! which their keepers call
    A lightning before death: O, how may I
    Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
    Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
    Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
    Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
    Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
    And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But for us the road
    unfurls itself, we count the
    words in our pockets, we wonder
    how it will be without them, we don’t
    stop walking, we know
    there is far to go....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
