Odd Number

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or number:

    “I wonder if his appetite was good?
    Or, if it were, if also his digestion?
    Methinks at meals some odd thoughts might intrude,
    And conscience ask a curious sort of question,
    About the right divine how far we should
    Sell flesh and blood.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “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)
