Banked Dirt Oval

Famous quotes containing the words banked and/or dirt:

    “The rare original heartsblood goes,
    Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

    In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “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.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
