Famous quotes containing the words ended, straight and/or flush:
“Back now to autumn, leaving the ended husk
Of summer that brought them here for Show Saturday
The men with hunters, dog-breeding wool-defined women,
Children all saddle-swank, mugfaced middleaged wives
Glaring at jellies, husbands on leave from the garden
Watchful as weasels, car-tuning curt-haired sons
Back now, all of them, to their local lives....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The straight Hellespont between
The Sestos and Abydos of her breasts.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Say what they will of the glowing independence one feels in the saddle, give me the first morning flush of your cheery pedestrian!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
