Stern Show

Famous quotes containing the words stern and/or show:

    “The rich earth, of its own self made rich,
    Fertile of its own leaves and days and wars,
    Of its brown wheat rapturous in the wind,
    The nature of its women in the air,
    The stern voices of its necessitous men,
    This chorus as of those that wanted to live.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Their looks show that they’re for it:
    Ash hair, toad hands, prune face dried into lines
    How can they ignore it?”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
