Heel Bone

Famous quotes containing the words heel and/or bone:

“Fair is the world.
I sing. The ache
up from heel to knee
of the weights
gives to the song its
ground bass.”

“Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.
Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom.
Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
