Overhead Lines

Famous quotes containing the words overhead and/or lines:

    “During a walk or in a book or in the middle of an embrace, suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything. The bare fact of existence paralyzes me... To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe—like an infant on its back in a cot. It is impossible to be interested in anything in particular while overhead the sun shines or underneath my feet grows a single blade of grass.”
    —W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)

    “He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
