Power Barge

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or barge:

    No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man’s power is hooped in by a necessity which, by many experiments, he touches on every side until he learns its arc.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We are afloat
    On our dreams as on a barge made of ice,
    Shot through with questions and fissures of starlight
    That keep us awake, thinking about the dreams
    As they are happening. Some occurrence. You said it.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
