John Shown

Famous quotes containing the words john and/or shown:

    Old men who never cheated, never doubted,
    Communicated monthly, sit and stare
    At the new suburb stretched beyond the run-way
    Where a young man lands hatless from the air.

    He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.
