Cross Florida Barge

Famous quotes containing the words cross, florida and/or barge:

    “Passion is here a soilure of the wits,
    We’re told, and Love a cross for them to bear;
    Joy shivers in the corner where she knits
    And Conscience always has the rocking-chair,
    Cheerful as when she tortured into fits
    The first cat that was ever killed by Care.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “In Florida consider the flamingo,
    Its color passion but its neck a question.”
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    “We are afloat
    On our dreams as on a barge made of ice,
    Shot through with questions and fissures of starlight
    That keep us awake, thinking about the dreams
    As they are happening. Some occurrence. You said it.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
