Armored Box

Famous quotes containing the words armored and/or box:

    O mud
    For watermelons gutted to the crust,
    Mud for the mole-tide harbor, mud for mouse,
    Mud for the armored Diesel fishing tubs that thud
    A year and a day to wind and tide; the dust
    Is on this skipping heart that shakes my house,
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    All your lovely words are spoken.
    Once the ivory box is broken,
    Beats the golden bird no more.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
