Place

Famous quotes containing the word place:

    And the chandeliers are neat . . .
    But their mignon, marblish glare!
    We are cold, the parrots cried,
    In a place so debonair.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I place these numbed wrists to the pane
    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    Often I am permitted to return to a meadow
    as if it were a given property of the mind
    that certain bounds hold against chaos,

    that is a place of first permission,
    everlasting omen of what is.
    Robert Duncan (b. 1919)
