Frank Luke/death

Famous quotes containing the words frank, luke and/or death:

    Are sailors, frequenters of fiddlers’ greens, without vices? No; but less often than with landsmen do their vices, so called, partake of crookedness of heart, seeming less to proceed from viciousness than exuberance of vitality after long constraint: frank manifestations in accordance with natural law.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    But go, and if you listen she will call,
    Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal—
    Luke Havergal.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    when it comes to my death let it be slow,
    let it be pantomime, this last peep show,
    so that I may squat at the edge trying on
    my black necessary trousseau.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
