Box Kites

Famous quotes containing the words box and/or kites:

    “A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
    A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
    A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
    Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
    These lie about the room....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “The curse of hell upon the sleek upstart
    That got the Captain finally on his back
    And took the red red vitals of his heart
    And made the kites to whet their beaks clack clack.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
