Island Nights

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or nights:

“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“You still whispered you would not die.
Yet in the nights I heard you cry
Like a whipped child;”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
