Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or opens:
“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I can smell
the blade that opens the hole
and the pudgy white fingers
that shake out the intestines
like a hankie.”
—Philip Levine (b. 1928)
