Raw Casting

Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or casting:

    —‘I wish I had feathers, a fine sweeping gown,
    And a delicate face, and could strut about Town!’—
    ‘My dear—a raw country girl, such as you be,
    Cannot quite expect that. You ain’t ruined,’ said she.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    All we know
    Is that we are a little early, that
    Today has that special, lapidary
    Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
    Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
    Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
