High Starting Torque

Famous quotes containing the words high, starting and/or torque:

    “Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
    The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
    Key West sank downward under massive clouds
    And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
    Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.”
    —Diane Glancy (b. 1941)
