Famous quotes containing the words dust and/or bowl:

    Beauty is everlasting
    and dust is for a time.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    The bowl will ensnare and enchant
    men who crouch by the hearth
    till they want
    but the riot of stars in the night;
    those who dwell far inland
    will seek ships.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
