Famous quotes containing the words wall and/or centre:
“Cooling, so cooling,
with a wall against my feet,
midday sleep—behold.”

“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
