Seventh Duke

Famous quotes containing the words seventh and/or duke:

“Grovelling,
intimate words,
heart-stealing flattery,
a tight embrace
of my thinner-than-thin body,
violent kisses all over—
obviously,
getting angry is worth the risk,
but even still,
I’m not interested.
My lover
is dear to my heart,
so how could I be like that
on purpose?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

“Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?”
—Vernon Duke (1903–1969)
