Famous quotes containing the word running:

    The road became a channel running flocks
    Of glossy birds like ripples over rocks.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    ... with dozens of as yet
    Unrealized projects, and a strict sense
    Of time running out, of evening presenting
    The tactfully folded-over bill?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
