Extra Bits

Famous quotes containing the words extra and/or bits:

“The extra worry began it—on the
Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
And then and there. Meanwhile the host
Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
No one did much about eating.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“At death, you break up: the bits that were you
Start speeding away from each other for ever
With no one to see.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
