To swallow wines all foam and froth!

To join the gormandising troop

Him with the platitudes and rubber doughnuts,
Melting at the knees, a varicose horror.
Hello, hello. My nerves knew you, dear boy.
Have you come to unhinge my shadow?”
—Theodore Roethke (19081963)
“In New York, pretending to be above the struggle means no seat on the bus and a table next to the kitchen.”
