White Pass Route

Famous quotes containing the words white, pass and/or route:

    “Would you ascend to Heaven and bodiless dwell?
    Or take your bodies honorless to Hell?

    In Heaven you have heard no marriage is,
    No white flesh tinder to your lecheries,”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “Ovid lies here, the poet, skilled in love’s gentle sport;
    By his own talents he worked his undoing.
    Oh, you who pass by, if ever you have loved,
    Think it not a burden to wish him calm repose.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
