Sides

Famous quotes containing the word sides:

    I have no spur
    To prick the sides of my intent, but only
    Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself,
    And falls on th’ other.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I knew the stars, the flowers, and the birds,
    The gray and wintry sides of many glens,
    And did but half remember human words,
    In converse with the mountains, moors, and fens.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    Playing alone, I found the wall.
    One side was gray, the other an indelible gray.
    The two sides were separated by a third,
    Or spirit wall, a coarser gray.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
