Riding Losing

Famous quotes containing the words riding and/or losing:

    “Sometimes a musical phrase would perfectly sum up
    The mood of a moment. One of those lovelorn sonatas
    For wind instruments was riding past on a solemn white horse.
    Everybody wondered who the new arrival was.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Let the palings of her bed
    Be quince and box-wood overlaid
    with the scented bark of yew.
    That all the wood in blossoming,
    May calm her heart and cool her blood
    For losing of her maidenhood.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
