Shelley Street

Famous quotes containing the words shelley and/or street:

“At length upon the lone Chorasmian shore
He paused, a wide and melancholy waste
Of putrid marshes.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
