Brass Cents

Famous quotes containing the words brass and/or cents:

    You could almost see the brass on her gleaming,
    Not quite. The mist was to light what red
    Is to fire. And her mainmast tapered to nothing,
    Without teetering a millimeter’s measure.
    The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    He will enter your hands
    as easily as ten cents used to
    bring forth a Coke.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
