Famous quotes containing the word dickey:

If they have lived in a wood
It is a wood.
If they have lived on plains
It is grass rolling
Under their feet forever.”

“For years, they have all been dying
Out, the classic buck-and-wing men”

And at last, the stand on his hands,
Perfect, with his feet together,
His head down, evenly breathing,”
