Famous quotes by patricia k. page:

    In the felt of the morning the calico minded,
    sufficiently starched, insert papers, hit keys,
    efficient and sure as their adding machines;
    yet they weep in the vault,
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    And of the swan in death these dreamers tell
    of its last flight and how it falls, a plummet,
    pierced by the freezing bullet
    and how three feathers, loosened by the shot,
    descend like snow upon it.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)

    that warm metamorphosis of snow
    as gentle as the sort that woodsmen know
    who, lost in the white circle, fall at last
    and dream their way to death.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
