Famous quotes containing the words short and/or line:

    “If true that notion, which but few contest,
    That in the way of wit short things are best,
    Then in good epigrams two virtues meet,
    For ‘tis their glory to be short and sweet.”
    —Anonymous. From A Collection of Epigrams (1727)

    “A line in long array, where they wind betwixt green islands;
    They take a serpentine course—their arms flash in the sun—hark to the musical clank;”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
