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 (18171862)
“It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his hearts deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings
I know why the caged bird sings!”
—Paul Laurence Dunbar (18721906)
“Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean,roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with ruin,his control
Stops with the shore;”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
