Bottom Sheet

Famous quotes containing the words bottom and/or sheet:

    Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And he was

    there in the hall, flat on a sheet of blood that
    ran down the stairs. I did appreciate it. There are few
    hosts who so thoroughly prepare to greet a guest
    only casually invited, and that several months ago.
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
