Simple Path


Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or path:

    “A simple child,
    That lightly draws its breath,
    And feels its life in every limb,
    What should it know of death?”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Tired,
    she looked up the path
    her lover would take
    as far as her eyes could see.
    On the roads,
    traffic ceased
    at the end of day
    as night slid over the sky.
    The traveller’s pained wife
    took a single step towards home,
    said, “Could he not have come at this instant?”
    and quickly craning her neck around,
    looked up the path again.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
