Famous quotes containing the word length:

    At length to hospital
    This man was limited,
    Where screens leant on the wall
    And idle headphones hung.
    Since he would soon be dead
    They let his wife come along
    And pour out tea, each day.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    At length I heard a ragged noise and mirth
    Of thieves and murderers: there I him espied
    Who straight, Your suit is granted,said, and died.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
