Lowell

Famous quotes containing the word lowell:

    Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
    For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
    So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
    From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
    And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
    For making him fully and perfectly man.
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    Light
    Flashed from his matted head and marble feet,
    He grappled at the net
    With the coiled, hurdling muscles of his thighs:
    The corpse was bloodless, a botch of reds and whites,
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
