Big Oak Flat

Famous quotes containing the words big, oak and/or flat:

    But I died yesterday,
    “Daddy,” I died,
    swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
    and it won’t get out
    it keeps knocking at my eyes,
    my big orphan eyes....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We may divide characters into flat and round.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
