Sockets

Famous quotes containing the word sockets:

    Webster was much possessed by death
    And saw the skull beneath the skin;
    And breastless creatures under ground
    Leaned backward with a lipless grin.

    Daffodil bulbs instead of balls
    Stared from the sockets of the eyes!
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    And in their blazing solitude
    The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
    “Blow bright, blow bright
    The coal of this unquickened world.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
