Gobble

Famous quotes containing the word gobble:

    The bud of the apple is desire, the down-falling gold,
    The catbird’s gobble in the morning half-awake
    These are real only if I make them so. Whistle
    For me, grow green for me and, as you whistle and grow green,
    Intangible arrows quiver and stick in the skin
    And I taste at the root of the tongue the unreal of what is real.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    SWEENEY: I’ll carry you off
    To a cannibal isle.
    DORIS: You’ll be the cannibal!
    SWEENEY: You’ll be the missionary!
    I’ll gobble you up. I’ll be the cannibal.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
