Famous quotes containing the words arnold and/or walker:

    Yes, thou art gone! and round me too the night
    In ever-nearing circle weaves her shade.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    An evil moon bleeds drops of death.
    The earth burns brown.
    Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
    Earth wears a dun-colored dress
    like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
    be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
