Rubber Dome

Famous quotes containing the words rubber and/or dome:

    Time for the flat-headed man. I recognize that listener,
    Him with the platitudes and rubber doughnuts,
    Melting at the knees, a varicose horror.
    Hello, hello. My nerves knew you, dear boy.
    Have you come to unhinge my shadow?
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    Thus to him, to this schoolboy under the bending dome of day, is suggested that he and it proceed from one root; one is leaf and one is flower; relation, sympathy, stirring in every vein. And what is that root? Is not that the soul of his soul?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
