Twelve

Famous quotes containing the word twelve:

    Peering, I heard the hooves come down the hill.
    The posse passed, twelve horse; the leader’s face
    Was worn as limestone on an ancient sill.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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)

    I’m 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I’d only be 48. That’s the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
