Single Zinc Finger

Famous quotes containing the words single and/or finger:

    It has always been my practice to cast a long paragraph in a single mould, to try it by my ear, to deposit it in my memory, but to suspend the action of the pen till I had given the last polish to my work.
    Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    There in the narrow,
    mote-filled finger of light, is a blonde
    so blonde, so blinding, she is a blizzard, a huge
    spook, and lights up like the sun the audience
    in its galoshes. She bulges like a deuce coupe.
    When we see her we say good-bye to Kansas.
    Lynn Emanuel (b. 1949)
