Famous quotes containing the words long, yellow and/or road:

    “A woman drew her long black hair out tight
    And fiddled whisper music on those strings
    And bats with baby faces in the violet light
    Whistled, and beat their wings
    And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “a star
    called Wormwood rose and flickered, shattering
    bent light over the dead boiling up in the ground,
    the biting yellow their corrupted lives
    streaming to war, denying all our words.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “By the road to the contagious hospital
    under the surge of the blue
    mottled clouds driven from the
    northwest—a cold wind.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
