Frost Heaves

Famous quotes containing the words frost and/or heaves:

    Take a timber
    That you shall find lies in the cellar, charred
    Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it
    For a doorsill or other corner piece
    In a new cottage on the ancient spot.
    The life is not yet all gone out of it.
    And come and make your summer dwelling here....
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Popeye, forced as you know to flee the country
    One musty gusty evening, by the schemes of his wizened, duplicate father, jealous of the apartment
    And all that it contains, myself and spinach
    In particular, heaves bolts of loving thunder
    At his own astonished becoming....”
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
