Tailed Giant Rat

Famous quotes containing the words giant and/or rat:

    “In frames as large as rooms that face all ways
    And block the ends of streets with giant loaves,
    Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise
    Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine
    Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves
    Of how life should be.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I am not yet born; O hear me.
    Let not the bloodsucking bat or the rat or the stoat or the
    club-footed ghoul come near me.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
