High Starting Torque

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

    “Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
    For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
    Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
    Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
    And Usna’s children died.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
