High Banked Clay

Famous quotes containing the words high, banked and/or clay:

    When we are high and airy hundreds say

    Because we have made our art of common things ...

    And save herself from breaking window glass.

    He is in the tailor mending my pantsuit.
    He is in Boston, raised up by the skyscrapers.

    He is in the potter who makes clay into a kiss.
    Heaven replies:
    Not so! Not so!
