Wild Wings Bowl

Famous quotes containing the words wild, wings and/or bowl:

    Birch boughs enough piled everywhere!
    All fresh and sound from the recent ax.
    Time someone came with cart and pair
    And got them off the wild flowers’ backs.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Unhappy, eagle wings and bleak, chicken brain.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    It all ended with the circuslike whump of a monstrous box on the ear with which I knocked down the traitress who rolled up in a ball where she had collapsed, her eyes glistening at me through her spread fingers—all in all quite flattered, I think. Automatically, I searched for something to throw at her, saw the china sugar bowl I had given her for Easter, took the thing under my arm and went out, slamming the door.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
