Legs Played June

Famous quotes containing the words legs, played and/or june:

    “as his weight wilts
    and he is on a porch
    that won’t hold my arms,
    or the legs of the race run
    forwards, or the film
    played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.”
    —Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    “Miss J. Hunter Dunn, Miss J. Hunter Dunn,
    Furnish’d and burnish’d by Aldershot sun,
    What strenuous singles we played after tea,
    We in the tournament—you against me!”
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    “Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
