White Rump

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or rump:

    Shut out that stealing moon,
    She wears too much the guise she wore
    Before our lutes were strewn
    With years-deep dust, and names we read
    On a white stone were hewn.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Who clipped the lion’s wings
    And flea’d his rump and pared his claws?
    Thought Burbank, meditating on
    Time’s ruins, and the seven laws.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
