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)

    Marriage is the clue to human life, but there is no marriage apart from the wheeling sun and the nodding earth, from the straying of the planets and the magnificence of the fixed stars.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The door is opening. A man you have never seen enters the room.
    He tells you that it is time to go, but that you may stay,
    If you wish. You reply that it is one and the same to you.
    It was only later, after the house had materialized elsewhere,
    That you remembered you forgot to ask him what form the change would take.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
