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.”

“The violent, neat and practiced skill
Was all he loved and all he learned;
When he was hit, his body turned
To clumsy dirt before it fell.

And what to say of him, God knows.
Such violence. And such repose.”
