Blind Pool

Famous quotes containing the words blind and/or pool:

    The shadow of the Venetian blind on the painted wall,
    Shadows of the snake-plant and cacti, the plaster animals,
    Focus the tragic melancholy of the bright stare
    Into nowhere, a hole like the black holes in space.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    I caught a blackjack right behind my ear. A black pool opened up at my feet. I dived in. It had no bottom. I felt pretty good—like an amputated leg.
    John Paxton (1911–1985)
