Side Split Sit

Famous quotes containing the words side, split and/or sit:

    Through this broad street, restless ever,
    Ebbs and flows a human tide,
    Wave on wave a living river;
    Wealth and fashion side by side;
    Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    Let my hands find such symbols, that can be
    Unnoticed in the casual light of day,
    Lying in wait for half a century
    To split chance lives across, that had not dreamed
    Such coasts had echoed, or such seabirds screamed.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Then, welcome each rebuff
    That turns earth’s smoothness rough,
    Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
