Sustains

Famous quotes containing the word sustains:

    “When Gabriel’s trumpet ends all life’s delay,
    Will crash the beams of firmamental woe:
    Not nature will sustain the even crime
    Of death, though death sustains all nature, so.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Only when manhood is dead—and it will perish when ravaged femininity no longer sustains it—only then will we know what it is to be free.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)

    “flex and reflex of claws
    gently pricking through sweater to skin
    gently sustains their own tune,
    not mine. I-Thou, cat, I-Thou.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
