Famous quotes containing the words mark and/or strand:

    Only a still place
    and perhaps some outer horror
    some hideousness to stamp beauty,
    a mark no changing it now
    on our hearts.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
    There is no happiness like mine.
    I have been eating poetry.
    —Mark Strand (b. 1934)
