Lying Land

Famous quotes containing the words lying and/or land:

    Old heavens, you used to tweak above us,
    Standing like rain whenever a salvo . . . Old heavens,
    You lying there above the old, but not ruined, fort,
    Can you hear, there, what I am saying?
    For it is you I am parodying,
    Your invisible denials.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    O land of manure and mist, of dirty, cold rain.
    Petrus Augustus De Genestet (1829–1861)
