Dragging

Famous quotes containing the word dragging:

in and out by its bottle-green neck, letting it chew
the rocks, letting it haul beach glass and furniture sticks
in and out.”

limp from dragging a plow sunk in mud,
the slattern curses the rains,
her pleasures unfinished.”

Up at his shoulders, dragging yellow strands
Of wire with something in it from men to men.
“You here?” I said. “Where aren’t you nowadays?...””
