Empty Bottle

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or bottle:

    “Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room,
    Barrel-house kings, with feet unstable,
    Sagged and reeled and pounded on the table,
    Pounded on the table,
    Beat an empty barrel with the handle of a broom,
    Hard as they were able,”
    —Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    “The bottle is drunk out by one;
    At two, the book is shut;
    At three, the lovers lie apart,
    Love and its commerce done....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
