Buck

Famous quotes containing the word buck:

“Not dancing but nearly risen
Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
On the winds of the buck and wing.”

Pushing the crumpled water up ahead,
And landed pouring like a waterfall,
And stumbled through the rocks with horny tread,
And forced the underbrush—and that was all.”
