Famous quotes containing the word slowly:
“But oh, how slowly minutes roll
When absent from her eyes,
That feed my love, which is my soul:
It languishes and dies.”

“Let the Brazos
Freeze solid! And the Wabash turn to a leaden
Cinder of ice! The Marañon is too tepid, we must
Is freezing slowly in the blasts. The black Yonne
Congeals nicely.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Love that comes too late,
Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried,
To the great sender turns a sour offense,
Crying, “That’s good that’s gone.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
