Backed Kingfisher

Famous quotes containing the words backed and/or kingfisher:

“In the eighth, Hermanski smashed a drive to the scoreboard. Henrich backed against the board and leaped either four or fourteen feet into the air. He stayed aloft so long he looked like an empty uniform hanging in its locker. When he came down he had the ball.”

“the mud
Flies from his hunching wings and beak—my heart,
The blue kingfisher dives on you in fire.”
