Vertical Kana Repeat

Famous quotes containing the words vertical and/or repeat:

    “I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless;
    That only men incredulous of despair,
    Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air
    Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access
    Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness,
    In souls as countries, lieth silent-bare
    Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
    Of the absolute Heavens.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “That name for which you fought does it quite fit?
    And is your stubborn silence only tact?
    Boys wish to imitate who hear of it
    But will you tell them to repeat your act?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
