Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or order:

    “I’d rather be
    A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
    So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
    Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
    Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
    Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    ““I have said no
    To everything, in order to get at myself.
    I have wiped away moonlight like mud....””
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
