Present Progressive

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or progressive:

    When winter snows upon thy sable hairs,
    And frost of age hath nipped thy beauties near;
    When dark shall seem thy day that never clears,
    And all lies withered that was held so dear,
    Then take this picture which I here present thee,
    Limned with a pencil not all unworthy;
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    A man is a method, a progressive arrangement; a selecting principle, gathering his like to him; wherever he goes.
