Transient Heat

Famous quotes containing the words transient and/or heat:

    A creature not too bright or good
    For human nature’s daily food;
    For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
    Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    For it is wretchedness that endures, shedding its cancerous light on all it approaches:
    Words spoken in the heat of passion, that might have been retracted in good time,
    All good intentions, all that was arguable.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
