Rises

Famous quotes containing the word rises:

“What is this conversation, now secular,
A speech not mine yet speaking for me in
The heaving jelly of my tribal air?
It rises in the throat, it climbs the tongue,
It perches there for secret tutelage....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

young enough to be my granddaughter.
Like the sun she rises in her flame-flamingo infants’ wear.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

“The moment Germany rises as a great power, France gains a new importance as a cultural power.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
