Long Roll

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or roll:

    And I have seen long fingers that would stare
    With fiery eyes, and then the eyes would crawl
    Deftly across the counterpane and fall
    Soundless, with a wink of mild despair.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    It was easy to recognize in him the anti-social animus of a born evangelist, but there was also something else—a kind of voluptuous delight in the shabby and preposterous, a perverted aestheticism like that of a latter-day movie or radio fan, a wild will to roll in and snuffle balderdash as a cat rolls in and snuffles catnip.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
