Famous quotes containing the word leaning:
“Whether in the bringing of the flowers or the food
She offers plenty, and is part of plenty,
And whether I see her stooping, or leaning with the flowers,
What she does is ages old, and she is not simply,
No, but lovely in that way.”
—Bernard Spencer (19091963)

In which there is no other meaning, itself
Is calm, itself is summer and night, itself
Is the reader leaning late and reading there.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“And then I ran to get away,
But when I stopped and turned to see,
The tree was bending to the side
And leaning out to look at me.”
