Tai Long Wan

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or wan:

    “What of the heart without her? Nay, poor heart,
    Of thee what word remains ere speech be still?
    A wayfarer by barren ways and chill,
    Steep ways and weary, without her thou art,
    Where the long cloud, the long wood’s counterpart,
    Sheds doubled darkness up the labouring hill.”
    —Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

    “bacterial creepers
    Wriggling through wounds
    Like elvers in ponds,
    Their wan mouths kissing the warm sutures,
    Cleaning and caressing,
    Creeping and healing.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
