Banked Dirt Oval

Famous quotes containing the words banked and/or dirt:

“The winter owl banked just in time to pass
And save herself from breaking window glass.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Come hither, all ye empty things,
Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
Who float upon the tide of state,
Come hither, and behold your fate.
Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
From all his ill-got honours flung,
Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
