Vertical Punch

Famous quotes containing the words vertical and/or punch:

    “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)

    “At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
