Called Updike

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or updike:

    Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
    Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
    My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
    Her classics registered a little flat!
    I rose, and venomously spat.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.
