Famous quotes containing the words street, middle and/or school:
“What are you now? If we could touch one another,

and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
