Slip

Famous quotes containing the word slip:

Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette
Shellacked with silk and light
The hard legs of our women.”

The years slip from me and have not fulfilled
The aspiration of my youth, to build
Some tower of song with lofty parapet.”

From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.”
