Power Barge

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or barge:

    “Do thou, then breathe those thoughts into my mind
    By which such virtue may in me be bred
    That in thy holy footsteps I may tread:
    The fetters of my tongue do thou unbind,
    That I may have the power to sing of thee
    And sound thy praises everlastingly”
    —Michelangelo Buonarroti (1474–1564)

    “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)
