Deadly Passage

Famous quotes containing the words deadly and/or passage:

    Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
    So let them sink as water in the sand;
    When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
    Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
    So make them melt as the dishoused snail
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)

    So I was glad of the fog’s
    Taking me to you
    Undetermined summer thing eaten
    Of grief and passage where you stay.
    The wheel is ready to turn again.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
