Flash Gordon Strange

Famous quotes containing the words flash, gordon and/or strange:

    The point of the dragonfly’s terrible lip, the giant water bug, birdsong, or the beautiful dazzle and flash of sunlighted minnows, is not that it all fits together like clockwork--for it doesn’t ... but that it all flows so freely wild, like the creek, that it all surges in such a free, finged tangle. Freedom is the world’s water and weather, the world’s nourishment freely given, its soil and sap: and the creator loves pizzazz.
    Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    Romances I ne’er read like those I have seen.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    a strange being leans over her
    and lifts her chin firmly
    and gazes at her with executioner’s eyes.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
