Bats

Famous quotes containing the word bats:

“A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

and cannot be arrested and pay no tax
and, in general, bats have it made.”

Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.”
