Scales Fell

Famous quotes containing the words scales and/or fell:

    In what camera do you taste
    Poison, in what darkness set
    Glittering scales and point
    The tipping tongue?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
    Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
    Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
    fear at its rising
    Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
