Famous quotes containing the word dickey:

“The back somersault, the kip-up—
And at last, the stand on his hands,
Perfect, with his feet together,
His head down, evenly breathing,”

Look! He is grinning; he is not
Afraid for my life, either,”

In sunlight smiling under their goggles swapping batons back and

And He who jumped without a chute and was handed one by a diving
Buddy.”
