Famous quotes containing the word face:

    my face I don’t mind it,
    Because I’m behind it—
    ‘Tis the folks in the front that I jar.
    Anthony Euwer (1877–1955)

    Remember then our only shape is death
    When mask and face are nailed apart at last.
    Range-finding laughter, and ambush of tears,
    Machine-gun practice on the heart’s desires....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    A face peered. All the grey night
    In chaos of vacancy shone;
    Naught but vast sorrow was there—
    The sweet cheat gone.
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
