Pivot Tail

Famous quotes containing the words pivot and/or tail:

    The seagull’s wings shall dip and pivot him,
    Shedding white rings of tumult, building high
    Over the chained bay waters Liberty—
    Then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Who is going to raise the dog’s tail if he doesn’t do it himself?
