Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or forge:

    “Jugful of milk! It was yours years ago
    when I lived in the valley of my bones,
    bones dumb in the swamp. Little playthings.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “None can re-enter there—
    No thief so politic,
    No Satan with a royal trick
    Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
    To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
    Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
    New-face or finish what is packed,
    Alter or mend eternal fact.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
