Slip

Famous quotes containing the word slip:

    Though you bind it with the blowing wind
    And buckle it with the moon,
    The night will slip away
    Like sorrow or a tune.
    Eleanor Farjeon (1881–1965)

    I see slip to the curb the long machines
    Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette
    Shellacked with silk and light
    The hard legs of our women.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them slip.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)
