Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or space:

    “a star
    called Wormwood rose and flickered, shattering
    bent light over the dead boiling up in the ground,
    the biting yellow their corrupted lives
    streaming to war, denying all our words.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “When Paul Bunyan’s loggers roofed an Oregon bunkhouse with shakes, fog was so thick that they shingled forty feet into space before discovering they had passed the last rafter.”
    —State of Oregon, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
