Famous quotes containing the words beat, air and/or guitar:
“the grave,
so humble, so willing to be beat upon
with its awful lettering and
the body lying underneath
without an umbrella.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Spread outward. Crack the round dome. Break through.
Have liberty not as the air within a grave
Or down a well. Breathe freedom, oh, my native,
In the space of horizons that neither love nor hate.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Swiftly in the nights,
In the porches of Key West,
Behind the bougainvilleas
After the guitar is asleep,
Lasciviously as the wind,
You come tormenting.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
