Starting Rule

Famous quotes containing the words starting and/or rule:

    “what most appals
    Is that tiny first shiver,
    That stumble, whereby
    We know beyond doubt
    They have almost run out
    And are starting to die.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “While Michael Angelo’s Sistine roof,
    His “Morning” and his “Night” disclose
    How sinew that has been pulled tight,
    Or it may be loosened in repose,
    Can rule by supernatural right
    Yet be but sinew.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
