Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or kick:

Between earth and sky, creeping
In windows and doors, daubing
The entire neighborhood
With purple paint.”

However I have heard that sometimes you have to deal
Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.”
