Practiced Deep

Famous quotes containing the words practiced and/or deep:

    The violent, neat and practiced skill
    Was all he loved and all he learned;
    When he was hit, his body turned
    To clumsy dirt before it fell.

    And what to say of him, God knows.
    Such violence. And such repose.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    To recover a buried treasure without having it disappear miraculously in the process, one must be entitled to it, and also be willing—really willing deep in his heart—to share it with the poor and helpless. Buried money, especially silver, gives off a bright glow which comes right up through the earth and can be seen as a dim light on nights when the weather is misty or there is a gentle rain.
