HURRY AND SPEED, by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS Poet's Biography First Line: While speed is filling the bottle, hurry is spilling the ink Last Line: Hurry wins many a slave, but speed wins many a friend. Subject(s): Haste | |||
While Speed is filling the bottle, Hurry is spilling the ink; While Speed is solving the problem, Hurry's beginning to think. While Speed is hitting the bull's-eye, Hurry is stringing his bow; While Hurry is marching his army, Speed is worsting his foe. Hurry is quick at beginning, Speed is quick at the end. Hurry wins many a slave, but Speed wins many a friend. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POSTING TO PRINTING by ROBERT HERRICK NECESSARY OBSERVATIONS: 12TH PRECEPT by THOMAS RANDOLPH A CONFESSION IN BRIEF by MATHURIN REGNIER LET US TAKE LEAVE OF HASTE by CLINTON SCOLLARD SLOW -- SLOW -- SLOW -- SLOW by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS HAD LINCOLN LIVED by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS HAVE YOU FOUND THE BIBLE by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS HAVE YOU SEEN THE ANGELS by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BABY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS THE ORACULAR OWL by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
