Allotment Act

Famous quotes containing the words allotment and/or act:

“Now I hold Creation in my foot

Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly—
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
My manners are tearing off heads—

The allotment of death.”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

“—the main jet
Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest

In the act of rising, until
The very wish of water is reversed,”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
