Duck Race

Famous quotes containing the words duck and/or race:

    The duck fats rot in the roasting pan,
    And it’s over and over and all ...
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Spring, of all seasons most gratuitous,
    Is fold of untaught flower, is race of water,
    Is earth’s most multiple, excited daughter;
    And those she has least use for see her best,
    Their paths grown craven and circuitous,
    Their visions mountain-clear, their needs immodest.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
