Slaughter Beach

Famous quotes containing the words slaughter and/or beach:

    When offense occurred, Slaughter took the trail, and seldom returned with a live prisoner. Usually he reported that he had chased the suspect “clean out of the county”; these suspects never reappeared in Tombstone—or anywhere else.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    There I was dragging the ocean, that knock-out,
    in and out by its bottle-green neck, letting it chew
    the rocks, letting it haul beach glass and furniture sticks
    in and out.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
