Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or salvo:
“Ellie: By the way, what’s your name?

Peter: Yeah, I got a name. Peter Warne.
Ellie: Peter Warne? I don’t like it.”

“Old heavens, you used to tweak above us,
Standing like rain whenever a salvo . . . Old heavens,
You lying there above the old, but not ruined, fort,
Can you hear, there, what I am saying?
For it is you I am parodying,
Your invisible denials.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
