Famous quotes containing the words west and/or noble:
“There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“my pleasure
was in the strength of my back,
in my noble shoulders, the cool
smooth flesh cylinders of my arms.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
