Famous quotes containing the words small and/or lineage:
“Nothing can we call our own but death,
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.”

“I declare
Two lineages electrify the air,
That will like pennons from a mast
Fly over sleep and life and death
Till sun is powerless to decoy
A single seed above the earth:
Lineage of sorrow: lineage of joy....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
