Sand

Famous quotes containing the word sand:

“But the twelve lie in the sand by the dry rock
Seeing nothing—the sand, the tree, rocks
Without number—and turn away the face
To the mind’s briefer and more desert place.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

For the very last time; for my sand is sinking,
And I shall traverse old love’s domain
Never again.”

Torpedo-like, with shell of gritty leather,
All packed in sand to wait the trump together.”
