Liquid Column

Famous quotes containing the words liquid and/or column:

    Don’t forget the Dance Halls
    Warwick and Savoy,
    Where he picked his women, where
    He drank his liquid joy.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    I stand on top
    of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
    a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
    She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
    of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
    and will not scare.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
