Verge

Famous quotes containing the word verge:

    An exile, saddest of all prisoners,
    Who has the whole world for a dungeon strong,
    Seas, mountains, and the horizon’s verge for bars.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Be near me when I fade away,
    To point the term of human strife,
    And on the low dark verge of life
    The twilight of eternal day.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    An actress reading a part for the first time tries many ways to say the same line before she settles into the one she believes suits the character and situation best. There’s an aspect of the rehearsing actress about the girl on the verge of her teens. Playfully, she is starting to try out ways to be a grown-up person.
    Stella Chess (20th century)
