Famous quotes containing the word ran:

    “Parked, at last,
    on a dime that would never last,
    I ran through the airport.
    Wild for love, I ran through the airport,
    stockings and skirts and dollars.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The mountain stood there to be pointed at.
    Pasture ran up the side a little way,
    And then there was a wall of trees with trunks;
    After that only tops of trees, and cliffs
    Imperfectly concealed among the leaves.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Achilles had strapped the wind
    About his ankles,
    He brushed rocks
    The waves had flung.
    He ran in armour.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
