Famous quotes containing the words final and/or race:
“Always and last, before the final ring
When all the fireworks blare, begins
A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.”

“This is my father or, maybe,
It is as he was,
A likeness, one of the race of fathers: earth
And sea and air.”
