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)

“Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
