Expanding Bullets

Famous quotes containing the words expanding and/or bullets:

    “What is art,
    But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
    When, graduating up in a spiral line
    Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
    It pushes toward the intense significance
    Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
    Art’s life,—and where we live, we suffer and toil.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “There will be mud on the carpet tonight
    and blood in the gravy as well.
    The wifebeater is out,
    the childbeater is out
    eating soil and drinking bullets from a cup.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
