Got a line?

Yesterday, Don gave me a line to write a poem from. I'm struggling right now, but it's a good struggle. I came here now to give myself something else to work on and think about while the back of my brain, or the bottom, or wherever it is, works on the problems that Don's line has presented to me. Using Don's line, I'm trying to write a poem..., well, actually it doesn't matter. What matters is having some more lines to write from. Here, I'll supply four or five. Feel free to use them however. Of course, they're really not mine to give away anyway. But if you have a line or two within reach that you think might be a good poem starter, an idea to build on or argue with, an epigraph, or whatever, I wish you'd share.

I offer these to you (I'll probably try to use some of them, too):

"Thou art the sky and thou art the nest as well."
--Rabindranath Tagore


"Beauty is momentary in the mind"
--Wallace Stevens

"That word drama has been somewhat discredited of late."
--Balzac

"I do not cough for my own amusement"

"As I was floating down impassive rivers,
I no longer felt myself steered by the haulers"
