Elwyn Brooks

Famous quotes containing the words elwyn brooks and/or brooks:

    Commuter—one who spends his life
    In riding to and from his wife;
    A man who shaves and takes a train,
    And then rides back to shave again.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    At any rate, the line is
    Long and electric. Lean beyond and nod.
    Be sprightly. Wave. Extend your hand and teeth.
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
