Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or fin:

    “Dizzily down the abyss he wheels—
    So fell Darius. Upon his crown,
    In the midst of the barn-yard he came down,
    In a wonderful whirl of tangled strings,
    Broken braces and broken springs,
    Broken tail and broken wings,”
    —John Townsend Trowbridge (1827–1916)

    “Since the fin has come a little early this siecle and anomie is all the rage, wry, dry tenderness is a suspect commodity.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)
