Famous quotes containing the words cripple and/or creek:

    “There are knives that glitter like altars
    In a dark church
    Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
    To be healed.

    There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
    Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
    —Charles Simic (b. 1938)

    “The only law was that enforced by the Creek Lighthorsemen and the U.S. deputy marshals who paid rare and brief visits; or the “two volumes of common law” that every man carried strapped to his thighs.”
    —State of Oklahoma, U.S. relief program (1935-1943)
