Then a question, startling because of its reasonableness: Why not order today?
Of Human Bondage by Maugham, W. Somerset View in context
Why not still proceed over the untamed yet obedient element?
Frankenstein by Shelley, Mary View in context
But dreams--of those who dream as I, Aspiringly, are damned, and die: Yet should I swear I mean alone, By notes so very shrilly blown, To break upon Time's monotone, While yet my vapid joy and grief Are tintless of the yellow leaf-- Why not an imp the graybeard hath, Will shake his shadow in my path-- And e'en the graybeard will o'erlook Connivingly my dreaming-book.
Poems by Poe, Edgar Allan View in context
