Famous quotes containing the words bark and/or cloth:

    Let the palings of her bed
    Be quince and box-wood overlaid
    with the scented bark of yew.
    That all the wood in blossoming,
    May calm her heart and cool her blood
    For losing of her maidenhood.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film? With the whole universe and all the future to play in, Lucas took his marvelous toys and crawled under the fringed cloth on the parlor table, back into a nice safe hideyhole, along with Flash Gordon and the Cowardly Lion and Luck Skywalker and the Flying Aces and the Hitler Jugend. If there’s a message there, I don’t think I want to hear it.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
