Downward Sloping Demand

Famous quotes containing the words downward and/or demand:

    Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
    The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
    Key West sank downward under massive clouds
    And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
    Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The sun is shining.
    The shadows of the lovers have disappeared.
    They are all eyes; they have some demand on me—
    They want me to be more serious than I want to be.
    Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
