Famous quotes containing the word fixed:

    “...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
    boiling, over the west past all control
    rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
    sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
    think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
