Famous quotes containing the word gate:

    The sucking milk from this our body sends through
    jolts of light; the son, the father,
    sharing mother’s joy
    That brings a softness to the flower of the awesome
    open curling lotus gate I cup and kiss
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    And we, barely recalled from sleep there, sense
    Arrivals lowing in a doleful distance
    Horny dilemmas at the gate once more.
    Come and choose wrong, they cry, come and choose wrong....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    You, mistress,
    That have the office opposite to Saint Peter,
    And keeps the gate of hell!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
