Fourth Turning

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or turning:

    All night I’ve held your hand,
    as if you had
    a fourth time faced the kingdom of the mad—
    its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
    and dragged me home alive. . . .
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    As I pursued my bodily functions, wanting
    Neither fire nor water,
    Vibrating to the distant pinch
    And turning out the way I am, turning out to greet you.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
