Written Laurence Marks

Famous quotes containing the words written, laurence and/or marks:

    Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Is there no hope for me? Is there no way
    That I may sight and check that speeding bark
    Which out of sight and sound is passing, passing?
    —Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872–1906)

    Judge—A law student who marks his own examination-papers.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
