Famous quotes containing the words table and/or months:
“A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“Sixteen. Her breasts
round, round, and
dark-nippled
who now these two months long
is bones and tatters of flesh in earth.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
