Subterranean Land

Famous quotes containing the words subterranean and/or land:

“So this is the subterranean life.
If it can’t be conjugated onto us, what good is it?
What need for purists when the demotic is built to last,
To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed
The speculating rooks at their nests cawed”
