Tai Long Wan

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or wan:

    “It is the human season on this sterile air
    Do words outcarry breath the sound goes on and on.
    I hear a dead man’s cry from autumn long since gone.

    I cry to you beyond upon his bitter air.”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “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)
