Severed Arm

Famous quotes containing the words severed and/or arm:

    “It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
    That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
    Along uncertainty and gales of shame
    Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
    I dare not think alive: only a name
    That chimes occasionally, as a belief
    Long since embedded in the static past.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Four-room shack aspiring high
    With an arm of scrawny mast
    For the visions in the sky
    That go blindly pouring past.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
