Wooden

Famous quotes containing the word wooden:

    Upper and Lower Kingdom will declare
    God’s in this wooden toy,
    no less
    than where
    great Taurus ploughs his course.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
    The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
    The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.
    Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom.
    Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    So, laying his cheek against the dresser’s wooden one,
    He died making up stories, the ones
    Not every child wanted to listen to.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
