Tale Finished

Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or finished:

    Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
    Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
    Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
    Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
    Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
    whispered—down in hell
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    It is even in
    prose, I am a real poet. My poem
    is finished and I haven’t mentioned
    orange yet It’s twelve poems, I call
    it oranges.
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
