Famous quotes containing the words cylinder, head and/or painted:

    “The outline of the city became frantic in its effort to explain something that defied meaning. Power seemed to have outgrown its servitude and to have asserted its freedom. The cylinder had exploded, and thrown great masses of stone and steam against the sky.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “The back somersault, the kip-up—
    And at last, the stand on his hands,
    Perfect, with his feet together,
    His head down, evenly breathing,”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “Come gather round me players all:
    Come praise Nineteen-Sixteen,
    Those from the pit and gallery
    Or from the painted scene
    That fought in the Post Office
    Or round the City Hall....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
