Fixed Head

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or head:

    ...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
    boiling, over the west past all control
    rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
    sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
    think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Unquiet wanderer
    Draw the Glasnevin coverlet anew
    About your head till the dust stops your ear,
    The time for you to taste of that salt breath
    And listen at the corners has not come;
    You had enough of sorrow before death—
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
