Extra Wide Gathers

Famous quotes containing the words extra, wide and/or gathers:

“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“In sunburnt parks where Sundays lie,
Or the wide wastes beyond the cities,
Teams in grey deploy through sunlight.

Talk it up, boys, a little practice.”
—Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)

“He gathers deeds
In the pure air, the agent
Of their factual excesses.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
