Famous quotes containing the word tate:

    The idiot greens the meadow with his eyes,
    The meadow creeps implacable and still;
    A dog barks, the hammock swings, he lies.
    One two three the cows bulge on the hill.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Advice you take from me comes to you crutched
    Like a beggar youth zealous for old age.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    And a dark shift within the bone
    Brings him the end he could not find.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
