Steeply Banked Turns

Famous quotes containing the words steeply, banked and/or turns:

““Summer, you are the eucharist of death;
Partake of you and never again
Will midnight foot it steeply into dawn,
Dawn veer into day,
Nor the praised schism be of year split off year....””
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“The rare original heartsblood goes,
Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

“He turns agen and drives the noisy crowd
And beats the dogs in noises loud.
He drives away and beats them every one,
And then they loose them all and set them on.
He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
Then starts and grins and drives the crowd agen;
Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
