Pole Vault Stars

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

    I wouldn’t take the Pope too seriously. He’s a Pole first, a pope second, and maybe a Christian third.
    Muriel Spark (b. 1918)

    Howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones!
    Had I your tongues and eyes, I’d use them so
    That heaven’s vault should crack. She’s gone forever.
    I know when one is dead and when one lives;
    She’s dead as earth.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And yet with neither love nor hate,
    Those stars like some snow-white
    Minerva’s snow-white marble eyes
    Without the gift of sight.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
