Platinum Wire

Famous quotes containing the words platinum and/or wire:

    “Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of

    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.”
