Number Killed

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or killed:

    “Among a hundred windows shining
    dully in the vast side
    of greater-than-palace number such-and-such
    one burns
    these several years, each night
    as if the room within were aflame.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
