Flat Nose

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or nose:

“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“I see a schoolboy when I think of him,
With face and nose pressed to a sweet-shop window....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
