Giant Planets Form

Famous quotes containing the words giant, planets and/or form:

    “In frames as large as rooms that face all ways
    And block the ends of streets with giant loaves,
    Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise
    Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine
    Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves
    Of how life should be.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Why are all these dolls falling out of the sky?
    Was there a father?
    Or have the planets cut holes in their nets
    and let our childhood out,
    or are we the dolls themselves,
    born but never fed?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Snobbery? But it’s only a form of despair.”
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
