Sockets

Famous quotes containing the word sockets:

    And in their blazing solitude
    The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
    “Blow bright, blow bright
    The coal of this unquickened world.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Webster was much possessed by death
    And saw the skull beneath the skin;
    And breastless creatures under ground
    Leaned backward with a lipless grin.

    Daffodil bulbs instead of balls
    Stared from the sockets of the eyes!
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
