Platinum Wire

Famous quotes containing the words platinum and/or wire:

    “Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
    politeness,
    You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
    And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
    fern.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Constantly risking absurdity
    and death
    whenever he performs
    above the heads
    of his audience
    the poet like an acrobat
    climbs on rime
    to a high wire of his own making.”
    —Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
