Soft Line

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or line:

“It was a soft medicine
that came from the sea into my mouth,
moist and plump.
I swallowed.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?
You would say his ambition was to extend the reach
Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
