Slow Fading

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or fading:

    “Condemned to Hope’s delusive mine,
    As on we toil from day to day,
    By sudden blasts or slow decline
    Our social comforts drop away.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Last night
    as if death had lit a pale light
    in your flesh, your flesh
    was cold to my touch, or not cold
    but cool, cooling, as if the last traces
    of warmth were still fading in you.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
