Irb Sevens World

Famous quotes containing the words sevens and/or world:

    See,
    how they trace
    across the very-marble
    of this place,
    bright sevens and printed fours,
    elevens and careful eights....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
    Then sicken inclusively outwards:
    . . . the incessant recital
    Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
    Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
    For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
