Famous quotes containing the word traverse:

    “I look back at it amid the rain

    And I shall traverse old love’s domain
    Never again.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “The wind speeds her,
    Blowing upon her hands
    And watery back.
    She touches the clouds, where she goes
    In the circle of her traverse of the sea.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Along the iron veins that traverse the frame of our country, beat and flow the fiery pulses of its exertion, hotter and faster every hour. All vitality is concentrated through those throbbing arteries into the central cities; the country is passed over like a green sea by narrow bridges, and we are thrown back in continually closer crowds on the city gates.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
