Tables

Famous quotes containing the word tables:

“The evening falters. Couples in their coats
Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
Move tables closer.”

“Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
