Drawn Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words drawn and/or numbers:

    “the hunger of this poem is legendary
    it has taken in many victims
    back off from this poem
    it has drawn in yr feet
    back off from this poem
    it has drawn in yr legs”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “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)
