Set Top

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or top:

    The sun set; but set not his hope:
    Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
    Fixed on the enormous galaxy,
    Deeper and older seemed his eye:
    And matched his sufferance sublime
    The taciturnity of time.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I can’t forget
    How she stood at the top of that long marble stair
    Amazed, and then with a sleepy pirouette
    Went dancing slowly down to the fountain-quieted square;
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
