Swell

Famous quotes containing the word swell:

“And we may be led, then, upward through more
Powerful forms of poetry, past columns
With peeling posters on them, to the country of indifference.
Meanwhile if the swell diapasons, blooms
Unhappily and too soon, the little people are nonetheless real.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“The swan’s down feather,
That stands upon the swell at the full of tide,
And neither way inclines.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Or don’t you like to write letters. I do because it’s such a swell way to keep from working and yet feel you’ve done something.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
