Turned Heel

Famous quotes containing the words turned and/or heel:

    “And I said,
    “This holy concern for the truth—
    no one worries about it except liars.”
    And God was bored.
    He turned on his side
    like an opium eater
    and slept.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
    Maryland!
    His torch is at thy temple door,
    Maryland!
    Avenge the patriotic gore
    That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
    And be the battle-queen of yore,
    Maryland! my Maryland!”
    —James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)
