Pole Vault Stars

Famous quotes containing the words pole, vault and/or stars:

    Oh Sleep! it is a gentle thing,
    Beloved from pole to pole!
    To Mary Queen the praise be given!
    She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven,
    That slid into my soul.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    I dreamed, last night, that I could vault over any height it pleased me. That was something; and I contemplated myself with a slight satisfaction in the morning for it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Shake off your heavy trance,
    and leap into a dance,
    Such as no mortals use to tread,
    fit only for Apollo
    To play to, for the Moon to lead,
    And all the Stars to follow.
    Francis Beaumont (1584–1616)
