Pearl Buck

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or buck:

“When Alexander Pope strolled in the city
Strict was the glint of pearl and gold sedans.
Ladies leaned out more out of fear than pity
For Pope’s tight back was rather a goat’s than man’s.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Not dancing but nearly risen
Through barnlike, theatrelike houses
On the winds of the buck and wing.”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
