Famous quotes containing the words grip and/or length:
“you show her the two hands
that grip each other fiercely,
one being mine, one being yours.
Torn right off at the wrist bone
when you started in your
impossible going, gone.”

“A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
That, like a wounded snake, drags its slow length along.”
