Lean

Famous quotes containing the word lean:

    Of course, I love you;
    you lean above the plastic sky,
    god of our block, prince of all the foxes.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Blind mouths! that scarce themselves know how to hold
    A sheephook, or have learn’d ought else the least
    That to the faithful herdman’s art belongs!
    What recks it them? What need they? They are sped.
    And when they list their lean and flashy songs
    Grate on their scrannel pipes of wretched straw,
    The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Now I am in the public house and lean upon the wall,
    So come in rags or come in silk, in cloak or country shawl,
    And come with learned lovers or with what men you may
    For I can put the whole lot down, and all I have to say
    Is fol de rol de rolly O.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
