Famous quotes containing the words lucy, van and/or pelt:
“They were fighting tradition and change. It just wasn’t my time.”
—Autherine Lucy (b. 1929)
“His reversed body gracefully curved, his brown legs hoisted like a Tarentine sail, his joined ankles tacking, Van gripped with splayed hands the brow of gravity, and moved to and fro, veering and sidestepping, opening his mouth the wrong way, and blinking in the odd bilboquet fashion peculiar to eyelids in his abnormal position. Even more extraordinary than the variety and velocity of the movements he made in imitation of animal hind legs was the effortlessness of his stance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“... in pelt of gold enduring when all else
has let go all ornament ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
