Watcher

Famous quotes containing the word watcher:

    Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don’t want to remember, and remember everything they don’t want to forget. The dream is the truth. Then they act and do things accordingly.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    I could be worse employed
    Than as watcher of the void,
    Whose part should be to tell
    What star if any fell.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The watcher of my solitude is my own creation.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
