High Banked Clay

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

    The high wore away, the chromed skeleton corroding hourly, flesh growing solid, the drug-flesh replaced with the meat of his life. He couldn’t think. He liked that very much, to be conscious and unable to think.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    The winter owl banked just in time to pass
    And save herself from breaking window glass.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
    For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
    So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
    From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
    And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
    For making him fully and perfectly man.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
