Waiting Lists

Famous quotes containing the words waiting and/or lists:

“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Behold the Atom—I preferred—
To all the lists of Clay!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
