Haines City

Famous quotes containing the words haines and/or city:

    And then we’ll sit
    in the shadowy spruce and
    pick the bones
    of careless mice,
    while the long moon drifts
    toward Asia
    —John Haines (b. 1924)

    The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
