Cylinder Head Painted

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)

    “They all see you when you least suspect.
    Out flat in your p.j.’s glowering at T.V.
    or at the oven gassing the cat
    or at the Hotel 69 head to knee.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I, in my brand new body,
    which was not a woman’s yet,
    told the stars my questions
    and thought God could really see
    the heat and the painted light,
    elbows, knees, dreams, goodnight.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
