White Cloud Bridge

Famous quotes containing the words white, cloud and/or bridge:

    “The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Hearing the low sound
    of a cloud scattering rain
    at midnight
    and thinking for an eternity
    on his absent young wife,
    a traveller heaved a sigh
    and with a flood of tears
    howled the whole night long.
    Now, villagers won’t let him stay
    in their place anymore.”
    —Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    “Like a bridge over troubled water
    I will lay me down.”
    —Paul Simon (b. 1949)
