Figure Shows

Famous quotes containing the words figure and/or shows:

“When Mr. Apollinax visited the United States
His laughter tinkled among the teacups.
I thought of Fragilion, that shy figure among the birch-trees,
And of Priapus in the shrubbery
Gaping at the lady in the swing.”

“I never remember holding a full drink.
My first look shows the level half-way down.”
