Elbows

Famous quotes containing the word elbows:

    “At noon in the desert a panting lizard
    waited for history, its elbows tense,
    watching the curve of a particular road
    as if something might happen.”
    —William Stafford (1914–1941)

    “Flick stands tall among the idiot pumps—
    Five on a side, the old bubble-head style,
    Their rubber elbows hanging loose and low.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)
