Famous quotes containing the words clown and/or posse:
“Or else I thought her supernatural;
As though a sterner eye looked through her eye
On this foul world in its decline and fall,
On gangling stocks grown great, great stocks run dry,
Ancestral pearls all pitched into a sty,
Heroic reverie mocked by clown and knave....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Peering, I heard the hooves come down the hill.
The posse passed, twelve horse; the leaders face
Was worn as limestone on an ancient sill.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
