Slow Left Arm

Famous quotes containing the words slow, left and/or arm:

    Habit! that skillful but slow arranger, which starts out by letting our spirit suffer for weeks in a temporary state, but that the spirit is after all happy to discover, for without habit and reduced to its own resources, the spirit would be unable to make any lodgings seem habitable.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    While the old couple, just astir,
    Fancy the sunrise left the door ajar!
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    In his tenth July some instinct
    taught him to arm the waiting wave,
    a giant where its mouth hung open.
    He rode on the lip that buoyed him there
    and buckled him under.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
