Famous quotes containing the words air and/or shower:

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “Night sank: like flakes of silver fire
    The stars in one great shower came down;”
    —John Davidson (1857–1909)
