Long Running

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or running:

    In the eighth, Hermanski smashed a drive to the scoreboard. Henrich backed against the board and leaped either four or fourteen feet into the air. He stayed aloft so long he looked like an empty uniform hanging in its locker. When he came down he had the ball.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)

    Tattoo-shops, consulates, grim head-scarfed wives;
    And out beyond its mortgaged half-built edges
    Fast-shadowed wheat-fields, running high as hedges,
    Isolate villages, where removed lives
    Loneliness clarifies. Here silence stands
    Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken,
    Hidden weeds flower....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
