Stepped Cistern

Famous quotes containing the words stepped and/or cistern:

“I stepped from Plank to Plank
A slow and cautious way”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“But there, where I have garnered up my heart,
Where either I must live or bear no life;
The fountain from the which my current runs
Or else dries up: to be discarded thence,
Or keep it as a cistern for foul toads
To knot and gender in!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
