Overflows

Famous quotes containing the word overflows:

The love that goes down the drain like spit?”

That overflows the heart
Into hair and mouth....”

““End of tomorrow.
Don’t try to start the car or look deeper
Into the eternal wimpling of the sky: luster
On luster, transparency floated onto the topmost layer
Until the whole thing overflows like a silver
Wedding cake or Christmas tree, in a cascade of tears.””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
