Famous quotes containing the word tate:

    Alone in the public clearing
    This private thing was owned by all the town,
    Though never claimed by us within my hearing.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    All nature is a temple where the alive
    Pillars breathe often a tremor of mixed words;
    Man wanders in a forest of accords
    That peer familiarly from each ogive.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    What was dancing to you then?
    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
