Hughes

Famous quotes containing the word hughes:

    Coming about its own business
    Till, with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox
    It enters the dark hole of the head.
    The window is starless still; the clock ticks,
    The page is printed.
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)

    Clean the spittoons.
    The steam in hotel kitchens,
    And the smoke in hotel lobbies,
    And the slime in hotel spittoons:
    Part of my life.
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

    Stilled legendary depth:
    It was as deep as England: it held
    Pike too immense to stir, so immense and old
    That past nightfall I dared not cast
    —Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
