Racket Head

Famous quotes containing the words racket and/or head:

    To dine, drink champagne, raise a racket and make speeches about the people’s consciousness, the people’s conscience, freedom and so forth while servants in tails are scurrying around your table, just like serfs, and out in the severe cold on the street await coachmen—this is the same as lying to the holy spirit.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    the focused beam
    folds all energy in:
    the image glares filling all space:
    the head falls and
    hangs and cannot wake itself.
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
