Famous quotes containing the words randolph and/or quirk:
“for it is not so much to know the self
as to know it as it is known
by galaxy and cedar cone,
as if birth had never found it
and death could never end it:”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“The guided missiles,
The black-and-white angels follow each quirk and jink of
The evasive sheep, play grandmothers-steps behind them,
Freeze to the ground, or leap to head off a straggler”
—Cecil Day Lewis (19041972)
