Onion Lake

Famous quotes containing the words onion and/or lake:

“But could a dream send up through onion fumes
Its white and violet, fight with fried potatoes
And yesterday’s garbage ripening in the hall,
Flutter, or sing an aria down these rooms
Even if we were willing to let it in,”

“Lenin on a bench beside a lake disturbed
The swans. He was not the man for swans.”
