Fine

Famous quotes containing the word fine:

    The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    her fine blades making the air wince
    but her cargo
    no promise then:
    delivered
    palpable
    ours.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    To have gathered from the air a live tradition
    or from a fine old eye the unconquered flame
    This is not vanity.
    Here error is all in the not done,
    all in the diffidence that faltered . . .
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
