Heard Island

Famous quotes containing the words heard and/or island:

“And the sun and the stove and the mice and the gnawed paper
Made up the days and nights when I missed supper,
Paring my nails, looking over the farbelow street
Of tramways and bells. But one night I heard the feet.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Beyond this island bound
By a thin sea of flesh
And a bone coast ...”
