Stand Began

Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or began:

“I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep—while I weep!”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“I now first began to inhabit my house, I may say, when I began to use it for warmth as well as shelter.”
