Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    To stand on common ground
    here and there gritty with pebbles
    yet elsewhere ‘fine and mellow—
    uncommon fine for ploughing’
    there to labor
    planting the vegetable words
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    her fine blades making the air wince
    but her cargo
    no promise then:
    delivered
    palpable
    ours.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    The intellectual is a middle-class product; if he is not born into the class he must soon insert himself into it, in order to exist. He is the fine nervous flower of the bourgeoisie.
    Louise Bogan (1897–1970)
