Thin Quad Flat

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or flat:

Floating up from the forgotten
Cigarette between my fingers,
Why does it trouble me?”

“If the juggler is tired now, if the broom stands
In the dust again, if the table starts to drop
Through the daily dark again, and though the plate
Lies flat on the table top,
For him we batter our hands
Who has won for once over the world’s weight.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
