Famous quotes containing the words brooks, water and/or features:

    Out of coils,
    Unscrewed, released, no more to be marvelous,
    I shall walk straightly through most proper halls
    Proper myself, princess of properness.
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    When peaceful clouds were reflected in the paddies
    and the water buffalo stepped surely along terraces,
    maybe fathers told their sons old tales.
    When bombs smashed those mirrors
    there was time only to scream.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
