Crack

Famous quotes containing the word crack:

“The people inside have no water
and are never allowed to touch.
They crack like macadam.
They are mute.
They do not cry help
except inside....”

“You waves, though you dance by my feet like children at play,
Though you glow and you glance, though you purr and you dart;
In the Junes that were warmer than these are, the waves were more gay,
When I was a boy with never a crack in my heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“And within the house
ashes are being stuffed into my marriage,
fury is lapping the walls,
dishes crack on the shelves,
a strangler needs my throat,
the daughter has ceased to eat anything....”
