Stalks

Famous quotes containing the word stalks:

“Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.
What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“..for a prostitute’s fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another stalks a man’s very life.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 6:26.

“Cut grass lies frail:
Brief is the breath
Mown stalks exhale,”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
