Shakes

Famous quotes containing the word shakes:

    Death quarrels, and shakes the tree,
    And fears are flowers, and flowers are generation,
    And the founding, foundering, beast-instructed mansion
    Of love called into being by this same death
    Hangs everywhere its light.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    A slight wind shakes the seed-pods
    my thoughts are spent
    as the black seeds.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    He shakes the dust from off his feet
    And shambles down the dirty street
    The last man in the town, they said,
    Who’d shot a hundred Yankees dead.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
