Straight Column

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or column:

“Space isn’t remote at all. It’s only an hour’s drive away if your car could go straight upwards.”

“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
