Uncle Walt

Famous quotes containing the words uncle and/or walt:

    Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle;
    I am no traitor’s uncle, and that word “grace”
    In an ungracious mouth is but profane.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon. In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations!
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
