Famous quotes containing the words bank and/or opens:
“on a May morwening upon Malverne hilles
Me befel a ferly, of fairye me thoughte;
I was wery ofwandred and wente me to reste
Under a brod bank by a bournes side;
And as I lay and lenede and lookede on the watres,
I slomerede into a sleeping, it swyede so merye.”
—William Langland (1330–1400)
“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)
